Rasul Douglas

Bargains are not always just rookies and there will be players who sign deals later in their career that outplay those. A perfect example of that is cornerback Rasul Douglas, who the Bills traded for midseason.

The Bills needed a veteran to replace Tre'Davious White, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, and Douglas played that role perfectly. In nine regular season games, Douglas had four interceptions (including returning one for a touchdown), eight passes defended and two fumble recoveries.

Douglas is entering the final year of his current contract and has a cap hit of $9 million, which is significantly higher than Benford. However, the reason he is still a bargain is that he plays like a lockdown corner and usually those players have cap hits that are north of $15 million.

Similar to Rousseau, Rasul Douglas is a contract extension candidate this offseason but for now his cap hit makes him a bargain.
