HardcoreZorn Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Trade value for now has never been higher. A team like the Browns who were supposed to be good are going to start feeling pretty antsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went out and got the best safety available in the FA. Now you all complain that it was a waste of money. God, some of you wont ever be satisfied with anything. No for 2 years fans complained our safety's were bad in coverage. That doesn't change with Collins. He's not a FS. Another reason why he shouldn't have got paid what he did.

Hooper Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 What the hell is Bruce waiting for? He has to be getting calls and substantial offers from teams who desperately need left tackles. Wouldn't you take a first from the Browns right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Just saw on NFL Network, Redskins got an offer to Scherff up to 13 million a year but they didn't mention the length or guarantees. If so, I take that offer as a getting serious type offer. Rapoport though said on the same segment, Scherff might hit FA and in turn get a big pay day.

I’d go to 14 with a substantial amount guaranteed and if he doesn’t take that well then we better pick up some big boys early and often next years draft.

I hope they work it out. 14 million is steep but it still makes sense IMO for a youngish very good player who is poised to hit FA. So i'd offer him that. i don't love the idea of rebuilding the O line where both Trent and Scherff are gone. Moses has been mediocre thus far this season. Flowers has been decent but its not like he's transformed into a pro bowl guard or at least not yet. Rouliier is decent but nothing special. Our NFC East foes are building something special at O line -- including even the NY Giants who have been working at it for a couple of years. I think if Scherff stays and they draft a really good young LT, we'd have a really good O line too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't we just tag him for 2020, the impending CBA Negotiations\Stand-off will dictate thereafter. Scherff may well be happy to wait until then to gauge the level of cap\cash levels. We gave Collins a massive deal but it's still structured in a way that could be bailed out of within 2 years. The expiring CBA has to be a major factor in contracts talk at present.

Now you have to pay him as he can say "you took me with the 5th pick so you must think I am that good." Another SM screw up. To be fair, we drafted him to be a Tackle. He failed miserably there so we moved him to guard. We can use that in negotiations though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen enough to form an opinion just yet on him as a skin. His reported leadership ability will hopefully increase his value as he gains clout with teammates. Skins are in total control of his career. Contract was a win for the Skins long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already need a OT in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be he wants 5/80mil with a fair whack gtd. I think we are ok on this one for now. I'd like him back on a LTD though, just got to get the right numbers. I keep going back to an interview Bruce gave at the combine about how we had too much money stashed in the OL. Pay Scherff, dump Moses next year, get a rookie LT and RT on the books and in the starting OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect opportunity to replace him with a young, cheap, LT. And right now LT could potentially be loaded in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I think we often overlook the whole "Redskins are a disaster that never ends" part of the equation. Guys like Trent and now Brandon, they know they can get big money elsewhere. Why stay and be part of a dumpster fire that Bruce keeps dumping more gasoline on? I mean, I get it.

He got manhandled by Kerrigan so they moved him to Guard. Lucky for the skins, Scherff was also one of the top interior linemen in the draft as well. Teams usually dont draft Guards at #5.

Because WE made that mistake, we want YOU to take a contract under market value." Scherff: "[Laughs in Free Agent]" I'm sure Scherff will agree to negotiate his contract according to his results in a position he's never played for us.
