Scandrick probably figures that if he's not on the field except for dime sets and to backup starters, his value goes down next year. Right now he can probably get a respectable contract and run that out a few years. He's being wise about it - but whether you should cut veteran depth for minor cap savings is debatable.

I think the Cowboys are scraping every dollar together for 1 impact player in FA. They need to get that move right, and that will also give more clarity on draft day.
