Veteran defensive back Orlando Scandrick was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Scandrick was decent as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs last season and shouldn't be out of a job for long. He's sure to latch on somewhere, at least as a depth piece. His release is good news for the Eagles Defense though, as it shows that they feel confident enough in their health and talent to let go of a useful player like Scandrick.
The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a contract with defensive back Orlando Scandrick. Scandrick, a long time Cowboy, was decent for the Chiefs last season and should be a solid depth piece/insurance policy for the Eagles. They definitely needed help in the secondary, as Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby both got hurt last season and haven't been able to practice yet this year. Ideally for the Eagles, Scandrick won't have a starting role, but he should be able to do a decent job in whatever role the Eagles need him in.
Free-agent cornerback Orlando Scandrick signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source informed of the situation. Scandrick was released by the Redskins last week when they decided to go younger at the position. He played in just 11 games due to a back injury in 2017 but is a veteran presence that will help a thin KC secondary.
The Washington Redskins released cornerback Orlando Scandrick on Tuesday after signing him to a two-year deal in March. He was expected to add a veteran presence opposite Josh Norman. Quinton Dunbar and Fabian Moreau will now likely slide in across from Norman. Scandrick hasn't played a full season since 2013, so he might find it tough to land another gig quickly.
Washington Redskins cornerback Orlando Scandrick has been getting the first-team reps in practice opposite of Josh Norman. He has also been playing the slot in nickel packages. He has been showing fire and energy so far this camp. The former fifth-round pick hasn't fared well in recent seasons and had only 38 tackles and no interceptions in 11 games last season with Dallas. Scandrick has just eight picks in his career. The Redskins DST is not considered an elite fantasy defense.
The Washington Redskins agreed to a two-year deal worth a max value of $10 million with free-agent cornerback Orlando Scandrick on Monday, according to a source. Scandrick moves from Dallas after nine seasons to the division-rival 'Skins. The former fifth-round pick hasn't fared well in recent seasons and had only 38 tackles and no interceptions in 11 games last season. Scandrick has just eight picks in his career. Washington's secondary needs more help.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick has requested to be released from the Cowboys so that he can join the free-agent market when it opens on Wednesday. Rumors have been swirling that Scandrick had fallen out of favor in Dallas with Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods returning as cornerbacks and Byron Jones moving there, too. Scandrick was still effective when he was on the field, so he shouldn't have too much trouble finding a landing spot once he's released.
Cowboys Likely to Trade or Release Orlando Scandrick
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones stated on Tuesday that cornerback Orlando Scandrick will likely be traded or released this offseason. By publicly announcing that Scandrick will be traded or released, Jones has basically killed any trade value that the 31-year-old cornerback may have had. That being said, it's almost a certainty that Scandrick will be wearing a different uniform next season. Scandrick's release would save the Cowboys about $3 million against the salary cap.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick (back) won't play in the Week 15 contest against the Oakland Raiders. Scandrick was originally expected to miss two games with a back injury, and this will be his second. There hasn't been an indication that he'll be ready for Week 16, but based on the original timeline, it's what can be expected.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick will be forced to miss "one or more games" after suffering two transverse process fractures in his back on Thursday night. Somehow, Scandrick was able to play through the injury that he suffered early in the game, but he won't be able to suit up for a week or more. It's a downgrade to a secondary that can't really afford one.
