The Packers have expressed interest in signing Colts free agent cornerback Rashaan Melvin, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). Melvin stands as one of the better available CBs after Trumaine Johnson, Bashaud Breeland, and other notables have come off the board.
The Raiders are also among the teams with interest. Green Bay has been more active during free agency’s first wave than it generally was during Ted Thompson’s run, with the now-Brian Gutekunst-managed franchise adding both Jimmy Graham and Muhammad Wilkerson.
However, the Packers have been in need of cornerback help. They’ve used a few high draft choices to address that position, but it remains a need area. And Green Bay traded 2015 first-round pick Damarious Randall to the Browns last week, further depleting its corner contingent.
Melvin broke out for the Colts last season after a mostly anonymous career leading up to it.
Please no he is to good packers do not sign him. Lions need to win a little bit come on.
The packers need CB
Yes make this happen packers
Come on packers. Get it done.
Packers improving their defense? Hogwash, I say!
Getting rid of Randall was a good start.
