Five months after he signed with the Washington Redskins, former Boise State cornerback Orlando Scandrick was cut by the team Tuesday.
Scandrick, who spent his first 10 NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, was signed to a two-year deal in March. Coach Jay Gruden said Washington, which had bolstered its defensive backfield in the draft, wanted to “give Orlando ample time to get on with another team before the season started.”
According to Sports Capitol DC, Scandrick also clashed a bit with the staff, that his “feisty” attitude played a part in his release. Scandrick has always been an outspoken player, one that has had a complicated relationship with Boise State fans — he left school after his junior season and often on nationally-televised games claimed his high school as his alma mater.
