Rashaan Melvin News
The Carolina Panthers re-signed cornerback Rashaan Melvin to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday. In his first year with the Panthers in 2021, Melvin played in just 10 games (two starts) and recorded 16 tackles (12 solo). The 32-year-old didn't play at all in 2020 after opting out due to COVID-19, and he's expected to once again provide valuable depth to Carolina's secondary in 2022. Melvin has played for six different NFL teams in his seven seasons and has a total of 260 tackles (223 solo), five tackles for loss, four interceptions, 41 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 74 games (42 starts). He won't be on the IDP radar.
The Carolina Panthers are signing cornerback Rashaan Melvin to their active roster from the practice squad on Monday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Melvin played 29 defensive snaps and had four tackles (three solo) in the Thursday night win over the Houston Texans in Week 3. The Panthers are in need of cornerback depth with first-rounder Jaycee Horn (foot) expected to miss several months, and Carolina also traded for former first-rounder C.J. Henderson on Monday. Melvin has six tackles (four solo) in two games played for the Panthers this year and should continue to provide depth for the Panthers secondary with Horn sidelined.
The Carolina Panthers signed veteran free-agent cornerback Rashaan Melvin to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Panthers will be Melvin's 10th team. He opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 after signing a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Melvin played in 13 games for the Detroit Lions in 2019 and has been an NFL journeyman over the course of his career. In addition to Melvin, the Panthers defense has added Haason Reddick, Denzel Perryman and Morgan Fox as they look to rebuild on that side of the ball. The 31-year-old Melvin has 244 combined tackles (211 solo), four interceptions, 41 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 64 career games (40 starts).
