Orlando Scandrick’s time with the Eagles was drama-filled and ended with the former NFL cornerback getting released by Philadelphia and then heading to FS1 to air out his dirty grievances.

During his first trip to the Undisputed set, Scandrick all but guaranteed that the Eagles would implode and not make the playoffs.

The Eagles made the playoffs and Scandrick was forced to apologize for his “snake” ways. Now after all the drama, Scandrick and a handful of other Eagles will cash out on the playoff bonus allocated to each team.

According to NBC Sports Philadelphia via the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, players who spent at least three weeks on an NFL team’s roster are entitled to a half playoff share if the franchise they played for reaches the postseason and they’re not currently under contract to another team in the same conference.

Players who were on the roster for at least nine weeks get a full share.

Playoff shares for division winners this season were $31,000.

Scandrick, L.J. Fort, Zach Brown and Jay Ajayi will each receive $15,500 in playoff bonus.
Scandrick and Fort played four games, while Brown and Ajayi were on the roster for six.

Mack Hollins gets a full $31,000 of the Eagles playoff bonus for spending 13 weeks on the roster.

Fort, who signed with the Ravens after being released by the Eagles, earned a starting job with Baltimore and will receive playoff shares from two teams since the Ravens also made the playoffs.

Fort will pocket $15,500 from the Eagles on top of the $31,000 he’s guaranteed so far for being on the Ravens.
