Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said trading cornerback Rasul Douglas before Tuesday’s deadline wasn’t something the team sought after but the deal from the Buffalo Bills — swapping a fifth-round pick for a third-round pick — was too good for the Packers, who are 2-5 entering Week 9.
“It was a tough one because of what (Douglas) means to our team. We weren’t looking to move anybody,” Gutekunst said Wednesday. “We got a call out of the blue a few days ago. We weren’t really interested in doing it, but at the end of the day the offer was too good to pass up.
