Scherff Signs (His Tag)

Brandon Scherff didn't ever seem to be going anywhere, but according a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, that's about to be official.

Redskins’ three-time Pro Bowl G Brandon Scherff is signing his $15-plus million franchise tender, per source. It will require him to be at training camp - if there is training camp.

Scherff will count $15.03 million against the salary cap in 2020.

The Redskins and Scherff can work together on a long-term deal before the normal deadline of July 15th or he'll play the sixth year of his NFL career on the one-year hefty price tag.

The Redskins also have to decide how much money they want to spend on a guard, which is not considered a premium position.

Washington has lost Ereck Flowers in free agency while signing Wes Schweitzer and Jeremy Vujnovich.

They also have to try and figure out if Scherff, with a two-year injury history having missed 13 games over the last two seasons, is worth a four or five year deal at more than $13 million per year on average.

Scherff is probably asking for around $15 million per season and maybe for a five-year deal.

There's no chance that I would be willing to do that.
