Scott entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Buffalo Bills following the 2018 NFL Draft. The Giants claimed him off of waivers in July 2019 where he spent most of the campaign on the practice squad.
After voluntarily opting out, Scott will either receive $350,000 if he’s considered medically a high-risk to COVID or a $150,000 salary advance.
