The Minnesota Vikings are likely to see considerable changes in their secondary this offseason, but there is a chance a somewhat familiar player could be added to the roster.
Mason Cameron of Pro Football Focus ranked the top 15 defensive free agents and matched each player with the team that would be the best fit. A cornerback for the Buffalo Bills and formerly with the Green Bay Packers, was ranked No. 7 on the list of defenders (No. 15 overall). Cameron identified him as the perfect candidate to replace Minnesota cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
“Douglas faced his share of challenges in Buffalo, earning a 58.9 coverage grade in 2024. However, his knack for creating turnovers remains undeniable, as he tallied 14 interceptions over the three seasons prior,” Cameron wrote. “As the Vikings look to replace Stephon Gilmore, Douglas presents a seasoned option for the outside. His skill set aligns well with Brian Flores’ aggressive, blitz-heavy scheme, making him a strong candidate to bolster Minnesota’s secondary.”
