The cap space gained by trading away Davante Adams will give the Green Bay Packers a real opportunity to keep cornerback Rasul Douglas.
Two reports say the Packers will eventually re-sign Douglas, who led the team with five interceptions over just 12 games last season.
Josina Anderson of USA TODAY Sports reported that Douglas is now expected to return to the Packers. Dianna Russini reported something similar, stating the Packers are expected to sign Douglas once the Adams trade becomes official.
Adams was counting over $20 million on the Packers’ salary cap while on the franchise tag.
