The Washington Redskins released veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick on Tuesday.
The move comes as kind of a surprise, considering Scandrick signed with the team this offseason and had worked all training camp as a starter.
#Redskins are releasing CB Orlando Scandrick, source says. Signed him to a two-year deal in the spring after getting cut by Dallas. Washington’s younger corners have impressed. Scandrick has a shot to latch on with another team looking for a veteran.

Washington signed Scandrick in March to a two-year deal worth up to $7 million. The Redskins wanted him to start in the slot and perhaps on the outside; that’s how they used him throughout camp.
The Redskins will save $2.093 million against the cap and have $500,000 of dead money in 2018 and ’19.
Scandrick got a $1m signing bonus from Washington when he signed. Not bad for an offseason of work and part of camp.
