The Miami Dolphins desperately needed to address the cornerback position with less than two weeks remaining until the start of the regular season. The team did not feel comfortable with Storm Duck as the No. 1 cornerback and the relatively young and inexperienced depth behind him. The Dolphins have been interested in bringing in an experienced veteran for a while to offer stability and leadership.
Highlighting one of the few players the front office expressed interest in is a former division rival.
The Miami Dolphins have expressed interest in an AFC East veteran since April
As previously discussed on Gridiron Heroics, the Dolphins have expressed interest in former Buffalo Bills star Rasul Douglas and have been in contact with him since April. He remains a free agent because of a disagreement over contract value, along with interest from other teams. Considered one of the top available corners, Douglas has also received interest and even visited with the Seattle Seahawks in May with hopes of joining a playoff contender.

Miami needed a CB, Rasul Douglas should fill in. 1-year deal is a nice ‘test’
