Adding Douglas gives the Bills another veteran presence and the help that the team was looking for in the cornerback room after losingfor the season because of a torn right Achilles in Week 4. With White, the Bills had an NFL-best eight interceptions from Weeks 1-4 this season, while allowing the lowest total QBR and just 169.5 passing yards per game.
