Melvin was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Analysis:

A 2013 UDFA, Melvin surprisingly ended up making starts last season, as the Ravens' defensive backfield was decimated by injuries. He turned in a couple of nice performances before Tom Brady and the New England offense picked on him relentlessly in a playoff game. Melvin made just one appearance this season, and he got the same treatment from Andy Dalton and the Bengals. It's not a great sign for Melvin's NFL future that he was released by a team whose biggest weakness corresponds with his position.
