Yes, we could but that's not what he wanted from the colts. Per JMV Drew Rosenahaus and Melvin were asking Colts for a long term deal with money that was "way more" than 6.5 per year. When the Colts weren't willing to overpay he decided to "bet on himself" and accept a short term prove it deal w/Raiders.
