Brandon Scherff Unlikely To Reach Long-Term Deal
4 years agoThere's not much optimism that the Washington Redskins will reach a long-term deal with right guard Brandon Scherff before the July 15 deadline to sign players on the franchise tag, according to a source. If he plays the 2020 season on the tag, he'll make $15.03 million. Washington would like to keep Scherff around for the long haul, though, especially after he has made three Pro Bowls in his five-year career. Especially with teams being more hesitant to shell out long-term deals amid the coronavirus pandemic, it doesn't appear to be in the cards for Scherff this year. Another reason the team isn't stoked on handing him a big extension is the fact that he's played in just 19 games the last two seasons and hasn't played a full season since 2016.
