Footage shows Josh Allen aimed X-rated abuse at new Buffalo Bills teammate Rasul Douglas

Publish date: 2024-04-25

All's fair in love and war - and the same goes for the NFL.

Josh Allen and Rasul Douglas will have to let bygones be bygones when they line up as Buffalo Bills teammates for the first time this weekend.

The Bills acquired Green Bay cornerback Douglas on Tuesday night's trade deadline.

The Packers sent Douglas and a 2024 fifth-round pick to Buffalo in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick.

Now Douglas and Allen face a potentially awkward face-to-face meeting when they link up for the first time since the pair clashed as opponents last season.

During the game, a 27-17 victory for Buffalo, Bills quarterback Allen had some choice words for his future teammate.

In a fiery exchange between the pair, Allen told Douglas: "You f***ing suck!"

The clip went viral on social media and was shared on the NFL’s Top 100 video for 2023.

The x-rated outburst came after Douglas and a Packers teammate collided with Allen on the sidelines as the Bills talisman attempted a quarterback scramble.

Later on in the game, the duo found some common ground in their shared passion for the game's physicality.

“I love that s***, yo,” Allen told Douglas after the two collided in another hit. “I love it! I love it! I love it!

“I know,” Douglas responded. “I like that too.”

Douglas will likely be asked about his trash talking with Allen in his first media availability, but it’s all water under the bridge now with the cornerback joining a contending Bills team in 2023.

Douglas, 29, had been one of the Packers' more reliable defensive backs the past few seasons, intercepting 10 passes in 36 career games there.

He started all seven games this season at outside corner, with one interception and six passes defended.

He is likely to suit up this Sunday as the Bills take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a repeat of their Divisional Round encounter last season.

It's also Buffalo's first return to Cincinnati since Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during their Week 17 game last season.

Hamlin made a miraculous return to action in October, less than nine months on from the incident.

Appearing on the most recent episode of SiriusXM's Let’s Go! podcast with Tom Brady, Allen hailed Hamlin as an 'inspiration'.

He said: "For him to come back and obviously make the squad and be an inspiration, not just to us, but so many people in the world, he’s done so much good.

"Not in this area alone, like in the entire country in terms of bringing awareness to CPR and raising money and donating the defibrillators, the AEDs to high schools and little league teams around the country.

"I think that that’s so freaking cool that he’s been able to turn such a tragic moment in his life into such a positive movement that could very well end up saving people’s lives. And I think that’s very powerful in itself.”
