The Dallas Cowboys informed veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick he will be released on Saturday, per Josina Anderson of ESPN.
Scandrick appeared in 125 games over nine seasons with the Cowboys, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2008 draft.
The move comes after ESPN.com's Todd Archer reported Scandrick had requested the team release him this offseason.
By following through on his wishes, the Cowboys save $1.4 million but have a little over $3.8 million in dead money counting against the salary cap, per Over the Cap.
