Hes our best corner and had a bad day because the dline couldnt get pressure. Ifthe qb has all day to throw it doesnt matter qho you have back there. Locking him up even longer is good news for the cowboys.

 

[Dcowboy84]

considering he was already extended for a while this seems a little odd doing it at this point during the season....does anyone know what this does for the cap b/c this seems to scream cap move to some extent

Yeah, that's the only thing that makes any sense. But, we're looking for sense and that might be where we're going wrong.

I'm guessing they're extending him so that they can restructure his contract later. Probably move the base salary for next year to a signing bonus prorated over the leftover years from initial contract + 2 years from extension.

Don't think I like the move. Even more money tied up in the corners.

I like Orlando. Think he gets a bad rap because the rest of the d blows and gets embarrassed on national tv multiple times

Yep. The Jones boys just applied for a brand new credit card since their Platinum Ratliffcard expired.

Lmao

I think JJ reported it stolen and after looking at last months bill they found some purchases in Chicago. Lol

 

[TrailBlazer]

Coming off one or the worst games I've seen him play. He's still pretty good.

 

[Stash]

He may have had a rough game on Monday Night, but I think he's having the best season of his career overall.

And that's tough to say given how terrible this defense is!

 

[ajk23az]

Saves 4M from 14'-16', adds 6M from 17'-18'

Orlando Scandrick is winning

@clarencehilljr Well, except in Chicago.

 

[CaptainMorgan]

I don't understand extending any player on this defense.

But this is just the beginning of what we can expect this offseason. Lots of restructures and pointless extensions in an effort to manipulate a messy cap situation.

Scandrick is a solid #2 corner and this isn't a bad move. No one is covering those 2 freaks they call WR's in Chicago. Especially when 3/4 of your d line rotation consists of misfits and castoffs who can't get near a QB.

 

[jterrell]

Not at all unexpected, timing is merely odd.

He was going to get restructured anyways.
The extension guarantees him some money and makes it cheaper on the cap the next couple seasons.
Probably a good deal for both sides.

 

[Lonestar94]

Only player of the secondary that should stay.

 

[maxdallasfan]

With an adequate D Line, he'd probably be worth double that amount.

I think he is a solid slot corner who can play the outside well against average size receivers. He is still playing better than any of the other CBs.
