Former Packers CB Rasul Douglas thought trade to Bills was a joke

Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas couldn’t believe he was being traded to the Buffalo Bills and it took a call from president Mark Murphy for the reality of it all to hit.

Douglas was in the team’s facility when he got a call from general manager Brian Gutekunst on Tuesday afternoon but initially thought it was a joke.

“My initial reaction? At first, because Gutey called me, at first, I thought it was a joke. He didn’t say too much…the conversation was over and I just hung up,” Douglas said Thursday.
