Douglas, a third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, was a journeyman for most of his career. From 2020-'21, he bounced around with the Carolina Panthers, Las Vegas Raiders, Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals. The 6-foot-2 defensive back spent most of that time on practice squads.
Douglas then blossomed with the Green Bay Packers after being signed off the Cardinals' practice squad. From 2022-'23, he recorded 9 interceptions and held opponents under a 62 percent completion rate in 33 starts with Green Bay and Buffalo.

However, he struggled in 2024. Across 15 starts, per Pro Football Reference, he allowed 518 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns and a career-worst 122.0 QB rating when targeted in coverage. He's developed a reputation for being a gambler in coverage, resulting in a higher frequency of interceptions at the cost of getting burned.

He would likely be an immediate starter in Miami if Ramsey is traded. Currently, Kader Kohou, Storm Duck and Sam Smith are poised to compete for three starting spots at cornerback. With Ramsey on the way out, Douglas would also provide a much-needed veteran presence in the cornerback room.

Buccaneers land versatile linebacker in PFF's 2021 NFL re-draft
The NFL Draft remains the second-biggest event in the NFL calendar behind the Super Bowl. Like it or not, it remains one of the biggest things fans and media enjoy revisiting to see "what could have been." Pro Football Focus has done a good job this offseason by starting a re-draft series that we have been tracking here on Bucs Wire. In their latest draft, they looked back on, it just so happens to be one of the more impactful ones in recent memory for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise: The 2021 NFL Draft. Coming off a Super Bowl, the roster was expected to compete for another with a returning Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Lavonte David. Jason Licht went for a home run and selected Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, which did not work out. Fast forward a few years, and the former Washington Husky is now with the Cleveland Browns. Ironically, that team is where we get the alternate pick for the Bucs in this re-draft in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. The versatile linebacker would be a dynamic pick for the Bucs, as Trevor Sikkema explains. "The Buccaneers had Devin White with Lavonte David in their linebacker room at the time of this draft, but as we now know, that was not for the long haul. They have since been searching for a long-term answer at linebacker. JOK posted single-season PFF WAR marks of 0.25 in 2023 and 0.25 in 2021, good for sixth best and 12th best at the position. He also earned a 76.0 PFF overall grade in three of his four seasons, as well as a 91.7 PFF run-defense grade in 2024. Owusu-Koramoah is set to miss all of 2025 with a neck injury, which does cloud his projection moving forward." Sadly, Owusu-Koramoah is now dealing with some injuries and is going to miss the 2025 season. He remains one of the more prominent young linebackers in the NFL, and at age 25, he is one of the best at his position.
