Chiefs add help to secondary by signing veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick

It happened: the Chiefs finally added a veteran free agent cornerback.

Former Cowboys corner Orlando Scandrick signed with the Chiefs early Sunday morning. The contract is for one year and $1.5 million, according to NFL Network.

Scandrick, who fills the roster opening created by safety Robert Golden’s departure, was released by Washington earlier this week after signing a two-year, $10 million max deal with the organization in March. Scandrick, 31, earned a $1 million signing bonus before his release.

Prior to his short stint with Washington, Scandrick spent nine seasons in Dallas, but he hasn’t played in a full 16-game season since 2013 because of injury.
