Former Detroit Lions cornerback Rashaan Melvin has reached a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team announced Tuesday.
The deal is for $2.25 million, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This will be the sixth team in eight seasons for Melvin, who provides depth for the Jaguars in the defensive backfield and will compete on the outside with Tre Herndon and Darqueze Dennard.
Melvin, 30, signed a one-year contract with Detroit last March and won the starting job opposite Darius Slay by the start of the season. He defended 11 passes but had no interceptions in 12 starts for Detroit, making a career-high 68 tackles.
Melvin has bounced around the NFL since signing as an undrafted free agent with Tampa Bay in 2013. He spent two seasons with the Colts in 2016 and '17, starting 19 games and having a career-high three interceptions and 13 passes defended in 2017.
He signed with Oakland in 2018, starting seven games and intercepting one pass before signing with the Lions last offseason.
