I don't think its an issue of him being desperate to leave Indy. My understanding is that he thinks he's a CB1 and wanted CB1 dollars. Colts value him as a CB2 and offered him CB2$. Colts said, go test the market. He tested the market and saw nobody valued him as a CB1 and so his next best option is to take a 1 year deal somewhere else where he can prove himself worthy of CB1 $. Colts were never going to value him as such and so he left. I don't get the thinking that Ballard "did nothing" to retain him or that Melvin "hated Indy".
Sometimes this stuff can be other thought. It's free agency and everyone talent/teams are trying to make the best deal they can. It's business, not personal.
