Chiefs sign Scandrick after release from Redskins

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed cornerback Orlando Scandrick after the veteran was cut by the Washington Redskins on Aug. 14, the team announced Sunday.

Scandrick, who spent the past 10 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, initially inked a two-year deal with the Redskins in March but was released during training camp following the emergence of younger corners.

The deal is for one year and will pay Scandrick $1.5 million, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The 31-year-old registered 38 tackles in 11 games last season while failing to record an interception for the first time since 2012.
