Douglas, 6-foot-2, 209 pounds, has 80 career starts and 120 games played.
Douglas started 15 games in each of the past two seasons, playing for the Bills and Packers.
Douglas has a reputation as a ball hawk with instincts, awareness as well as physicality.
Douglas has taken too many penalties at times in his career and can be susceptible to deep speed.
Last season, Douglas took six penalties and allowed four touchdowns with a passer rating allowed of 122.0, according to Pro Football Reference.
