Chiefs sign veteran CB Orlando Scandrick to 1-year deal

Orlando Scandrick has found a new home.

The veteran cornerback signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, via a source informed of the situation. The team later made the news official.

After a decade in Dallas, Scandrick signed a two-year contract with division-rival Washington in March. Even with a $1 million signing bonus to his credit, though, he was released last week when the Redskins.

Scandrick started 11 games last season before he was sidelined by a back injury. In nine seasons with the Cowboys, he recorded 362 tackles, 11.5 sacks and eight interceptions, primarily as a slot corner.

The 31-year-old was reported to be drawing significant interest on the open market. He will add much-needed experience to an overhauled Chiefs secondary that lost Marcus Peters, Terrance Mitchell, Phillip Gaines, Darrelle Revis and Ron Parker in an offseason purge.
