Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Raiders are expected to sign Colts CB Rashaan Melvin to a contract on Friday.
- According to Adam Schefter, Melvin receives a one-year, $6.5 million contract.
The Packers reportedly had interest in Melvin too, but it looks like the Raiders will end up being his best option.
Melvin, 28, originally signed on with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Northern Illinois back in 2013. He has played for a few teams since the Buccaneers cut him loose at the start of the 2014 season including the Dolphins, Ravens and Patriots.
Melvin was once again testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
In 2017, Melvin appeared in 10 games for the Colts and recorded 36 tackles, three interceptions and 13 pass defenses before landing on the injured reserve. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 19 cornerback out of 121 qualifying players.
We had him featured in our Top 50 Available 2018 NFL Free Agents list.
