Scandrick signs 1-year extension with Cowboys through 2019 (The Associated Press)

IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Cornerback Orlando Scandrick has the raise he sought by skipping the first two weeks of voluntary offseason workouts with the Dallas Cowboys.

The eighth-year veteran signed a one-year contract extension Friday, adding $9.5 million to what's now a five-year deal worth $20 million through 2019.

It's the second time in three years the Cowboys have reworked contract terms for Scandrick, who missed the first two weeks of voluntary offseason workouts in hopes of getting more money. He reported this week.

The 28-year-old Scandrick was Dallas' best cornerback last year but was set to make just $1.
