Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick set to report for workouts Monday
Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer
IRVING, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys get back to work Monday in their offseason program, cornerback Orlando Scandrick will be on hand for the first time with hopes of getting a new deal by the end of the week.
Scandrick and his agent, Ron Slavin, met with the Cowboys last week in an effort to get a reworked contract. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he was optimistic the sides could work something out.
The Cowboys are in the second week of Phase 2 of the offseason program that includes on-field teaching sessions with the coaching staff. Phase 3 of the organized team activities begins May 26 followed by the mandatory minicamp June 16-18.
Scandrick has not attended workouts since the beginning of the offseason program on April 20. While he forfeited $500,000 in his base salary based on a de-escalator for missing more than 90 percent of the program, he will make up for the loss in a potential new deal.
Scandrick, the Cowboys’ best cornerback, was scheduled to make $1.5 million this year, which is less than what third-down running back Lance Dunbar could make this season. Scandrick is the third-highest-paid cornerback on the roster behind Brandon Carr ($8 million) and Morris Claiborne ($2.607 million).
In 2013, the Cowboys reworked Scandrick’s deal, guaranteeing him $9 million. He is scheduled to make $3 million a year from 2016-18.
