Quote below is from Melvin on SiriusXM. He and the Colts seem like they are both very interested in working out a deal.

#Colts Free Agent CB @Rmelvin30 on his future: I'm waiting to see exactly where we (him & the Colts) stand. I know it's all positive. They told me they want me to be back. That's where my career blossomed so I wouldn't mind going back there.. there's a lot of potential there.

Like to see him back ...

No real reason not to. I hope he wasn't just a contract year performer.

Anyone kind of have a bead on how our CB's will perform as predominantly zone corners?

I know he's gone, but I remember VD would look absolutely lost the few times he was asked to play zone.

Wilson has a great build for it. It will be a matter of coaches teaching good technique.

Chicago played more man coverage under Lovie Smith than the Colts ever did under Dungy. I don't think we are going back to the days of 15 yard cushions. I expect there will still be tight one-on-one coverage.
