Proposed Trade Sends Lions $26 Million CB to Replace Terrion Arnold
Pundits have linked the Detroit Lions to a lot of veteran defenders on the trade market recently. That’s only going to increase with cornerback Terrion Arnold injured.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Monday that Arnold has a serious shoulder injury.
“Unfortunately, he’s going to be out for a while,” Campbell said. “He’s going to be out for a long time.”
Campbell added it’s possible Arnold won’t play again in 2025.
With that and the other injuries the Lions are dealing with at cornerback, Detroit is a strong candidate to acquire a cornerback before the NFL trade deadline.
On Monday, A to Z Sports’ Mike Payton proposed the Lions trade a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for Rasul Douglas.
The Dolphins are a week or two away, and maybe a loss or two, from plummeting into full rebuild mode, and I doubt the veteran Douglas wants any part of that,” wrote Payton.
“What he might like is the chance to come back to the NFC North and beat up on his former team, the Green Bay Packers, a little bit. Douglas is still playing at a high level right now, and the Dolphins have a chance to get something out of this.
Douglas won the Super Bowl as a rookie with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017. The 30-year-old spent three years with the Eagles and then one with the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
Over the past four years, Douglas has played for the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and Dolphins.
Douglas has earned about $26.8 million in his nine-year NFL career,
Why the Lions Could Acquire Rasul Douglas
The veteran cornerback could be exactly what the Lions need. He doesn’t offer any long-term upside. In fact, Douglas is only signed through the 2025 season.
But two years ago, the Lions drafted Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw to be their future at cornerback. Those two haven’t fulfilled their draft stock yet, but injuries have been a significant reason why.
Acquiring Douglas gives the Lions a starting cornerback to replace Arnold only this season. Then next year, Detroit could return to its developmental plan at cornerback.
This season, he has started three of five contests. Douglas has registered 19 combined tackles and four pass defenses.
Douglas has started 83 games in the NFL. Last season, he posted 58 combined tackles and five pass defenses in 15 starts for the Bills.
With Douglas, the Lions could replace Arnold in the short term rather cheaply too. A sixth-round pick is a small price to pay for a starter even for half a season.
Could Terrion Arnold Return for Lions in 2025?
It’s possible Arnold misses the rest of the 2025 campaign. That’s why acquiring a veteran cornerback with starter experience makes sense for the Lions.
But Douglas is a potential perfect fit for Detroit because if Arnold does return, Douglas could slide into a reserve role.
Douglas has played 90% of Miami’s defensive snaps this season. But there were two games he didn’t start. Douglas has come off the bench at various times in his career even over the past handful of years when he’s generally been a starter.
Without Arnold, the Lions are set to rely more upon veterans Amik Robertson, Rock Ya-Sin and Avonte Maddox. In addition to Arnold and Rakestraw, Lions cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Khalil Dorsey are both out.
Douglas would give the Lions additional cornerback insurance.
Robertson started four games for Detroit last season. During his first start Sunday, he had six combined tackles, one pass defense and an interception.
Ya-Sin and Maddox are each in their first seasons with the Lions. Ya-Sin has nine combined tackles and two pass defenses in 2025 while Maddox has six tackles.
