Originally scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in the 2012 season, Scott re-signed with the Redskins on February 27, 2012. He was released by the Redskins on August 31, 2012 for final cuts before the start of the season.




Legal troubles

Scott was arrested again on April 30, 2008 for suspicion of assault and malicious punishment of a child. Scott faced two felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. The boy's mother allegedly found Scott holding a dry cleaning bag over the child's head. Scott told police the two were playing a game with the bag, and Scott wanted to see if the boy could get the bag off his head by himself. He pleaded guilty to child endangerment and was sentenced July 24, 2008. The NFL suspended Scott three games for violating the league's conduct policy.
