The info about scherff and the redskins being far apart on a deal? If that’s what you’re talking about, then I’m confused...how is that clickbait? The article states what is being reported.

Redskins have reportedly made two contract offers to scherff but the two sides are far apart still it looks like. Maybe time to cut Norman, to give us what we need to close out the deal with Scherff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking only at Dead cap is barely useful when considering whether its better to keep or cut a player. Cutting Norman this year as opposed to next saves us 11 million, because Norman costs us 14 million against the cap this year, and the only extra cost is the extra $3 million in dead cap over cutting him next year. 11 million is a massive amount, about the 5th highest paid player on the team. That can be used on another very good CB, and on an extension for Scherff. If we dont make the playoffs this season, which looks most likely, we will almost literally have flushed 11 million down the drain that could have been used as part of the rebuild the next 2 seasons.

I should have finished the statement - I thought it was clear but in fairness it probably was not - They do not have to cut Norman to sign Scherff. Yes, they save $11M but you have to replace him - and with what? I know people are soured on him but he has actually played very good. And $11M in not peanuts but it['s not huge either. My actual point again was you don't have to cut Norman to get a deal done with Scherff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our roster is jam-packed with young, talented corners. It's just a question of whether they live up to the hopes we have in them. If so, we don't need to look outside the org, for a Norman replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't specific to FA. But since its agents I'd presume that's their exposure to him -- FA and retaining their clients. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2018/04/19/nfl-agents-name-redskins-bruce-allen-leagues-least-trusted-executive-in-anonymous-poll/?utm_term=.7f783c87c856 “You never know if he’s shooting straight with you,” one agent told USA Today Sports of Allen.

If so, we don't need to look outside the org, for a Norman replacement. It's possible but reasonably possible? And we need more than one. In today's game you really need 4 to 5 top level CBs. So if Norman is released then every guy they have that's not just a roster filler has to pan out. And i have to make one big correction - we have a lot of young CBs. Talented? That is yet to be seen. As I stated above, even with Norman we need several of them to step up and reach top level play. So could there be a solid replacement on the team already? Absolutely. But my guess is they are slated to play a different role not replace Norman which would make us thin at a position we are already thin at unless all the guys work out which is highly unlikely. Now next year? i can see it. But not this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MMQ article I referred to was illuminating to me because it made me think like an agent. And from the agent's perspective when they have a premier or in demand player the ideal end goal is FA because you are just about guaranteed to get at least market price or more likely even more than that -- so it brought home to me that if anything low ball offers from the team can be a godsend (outside of a lucrative offer) because it likely helps accomplish two things (or least that's the point i took from that article). A. if the low ball offer is leaked it makes it even more likely other teams GMs can give a nod to the agent saying look we want your guy at market price or more if he hits FA. The agents are pretty much dealing with the GMs of all teams a lot because they have multiple clients. So it can help smoke out suitors and the future market for the player. B. If the goal is to hit FA, you can much more easily brush off a low ball offer and just ignore. Just wait it out and make it to FA or force the team to start bidding against itself. FA seems great for marquee players. It seems to often screw non-marquee players though. I think the wildcard is injury. If a player gets hurt in a FA injury especially if they have a previous injury history then it can backfire on an agent holding out for their client.

From what we have heard Bruce will tell agents and players one thing but then do something else, not negotiating in good faith. Again, you can be a hard negotiator without being dishonest. So no, I do not see this as a good thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
