The Facts: Despite being non-tendered as a restricted free agent, Scott is back with the Eagles. They are re-signing the veteran running back on a one-year deal, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Diehards Line:
A valued backup in Philly for years, Scott will collect $1.75 million on this contract — one that could be worth up to $2.25 million. Scott will receive $1.1 million guaranteed, per Pelissero. This salary checks in slightly below the low-end RFA tender amount. Keeping Scott in the backfield behind Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard, both of whom struggled to avoid injury last year, makes sense.
