That is a great strategy. Sure, Melvin played like a CB1 this year but that has been it. Overpaying for 1 year wonders is what the Browns (and Ryan Grigson) do, not a compentent team.
If someone else pays him CB1 money, then he wins and we win. If no one wants to pay him that much, then I hope his desire to stay with the team that gave him his shot at big money would be an attractive option to come home to.
Of course, that also means that we did not end up signing a different veteran to CB1 money (Malcolm Butler or Prince Alukamara) and thus making him unable to return to the Colts but we will see what we will see.
