Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports 1 passed along the news:
He also noted details of the deal before the extension:
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network provided the new terms:
Albert Breer of NFL Network noted that the "key to Scandrick's new deal in Dallas -- He'll make $4 million this year and $9 million over next 2 seasons. Was due $4 million in '15/'16."
Scandrick was drafted by the Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2008 draft. He's steadily developed into one of the leaders of the defense over the past seven years.
He's tallied 315 tackles, 9.5 sacks, seven interceptions and four forced fumbles in 102 career games. He had 63 tackles and two picks last season for Dallas.
The new deal comes shortly after he returned to the team after skipping the voluntary offseason workouts. Rob Phillips of the team's official site passed along previous comments from head coach Jason Garrett about the situation: "He looks good. You can tell he's been working out. We're going to take care of the football part. The business side will take care of itself."
Now the business side is taken care of, too.
Scandrick gets an infusion of new money in the deal, and the Cowboys ensure they won't have to head into training camp with either a disgruntled defensive stalwart or without him showing up at all.
