What It Means:

According to Schefter, Melvin's new deal is worth around $2.25 million. Despite a lack of overall interceptions (four total), Melvin has displayed some play-making abilities with a career average of 0.65 pass breakups per game. Expect the 30-year old corner to compete for a nickel package role.

On 277 total targets, Melvin has allowed 156 completions for 2,192 yards and 12 touchdowns.
