Scherff once again enters the offseason unsure if he’s played his final game with Washington. A year ago, the team gave Scherff the franchise tag to keep the Pro Bowl guard under contract for one more year. Such a move is unlikely this time around, given the massive pay raise it would trigger. If Scherff is tagged again, he would make $18 million for one year up 20% from the $15 million he made in 2020. For context, only three offensive linemen all tackles make more than $18 million per year.
In any case, whether he stays in Washington under another franchise tag, signs an extension with the team or hits the open market, Scherff is about to get paid. Big time.
Mock 2021 Offseason
Roullier - 4/40.5 tot: 10 per
Darby - 3/21 tot: 7 per
Bring back Kyle Allen and Cam Sims
(Funny note, in this Fanspeak, the Cardinals re-signed the ageless wonder Fitz for another 4 years at 10 mil per hahahahaha)
Free Agency: (instead of guessing at contracts over and over I will just let the computer set the terms and then pull that over) 52 Mil available (would probably be more with new cap.
Corey Davis (WR) accepted a 4-year offer for $8,600,000 per year (it said he accepted 6.6 mil per, but I don t think that comes close)
Tyrod Taylor (QB) accepted a 2-year offer for $9,700,000 per year
After the 5 quarters of Washington Football with Taylor Heinicke under center, there are discussions about whether or not he could be the answer for the team at QB, at least for the short term..
Ron Rivera and Washington embraced a “Why not us?” mentality in exceeding expectations to win the NFC East. After losing a close playoff game to Tom Brady and Tampa Bay, there's plenty of.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) Undrafted, unheralded Taylor Heinicke took on big, bad Tom Brady who had no idea who the QB out of Old Dominion was when they briefly were teammates a few years ago and, while the end result went about as expected, a head-first dive for a TD sure captured everyone’s attention and imagination.
