Scherff said enough is enough. I'm out. He just didn't want to be here and made no bones about it. He left here for the Jags. That is just sad.[/quote]

What are we basing this on? What indications do we have that he is unhappy with Wentz?

Lotta folks hating on Scherff here - all Scherff did was make a business decision to get paid. Some folks chase the ring - some chase the money. I'm not gonna hate on Scherff because he most likely decided his prospects were better served being financially secure for life vs. winning a title - there's no indication any title contenders were interested in his services anyways.

We got the most of out him, he served us well when he could play and we paid dearly for his services at the end. I wish him well, hope he stays healthy and has success in Jacksonville (even if team success is unlikely).

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

Exactly. It's not like Scherff left because he felt the Jags give him a better chance to win a ring.

Dislike. If they got him on a reasonable deal we aren't even gonna get that much in the form of a comp pick. Hope he got big money at least.

We never seem to get compensated for our good players … and we overpay the guys we bring in …

That is crazy!

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

If I’m an established player like Scherff, I’m not coming back to a team that franchise tagged me twice.

Scherff can chase the ring when he is on the way out of the league. Right now he has a 3 year contract. He is looking to get another contract after this when he will be 33 and still playing at a high level.

The #Bills gave DT Tim Settle a two-year deal with a base value of $9m and a max value of $10.6m. Pretty much what was expected for Settle, who figures to get his chance at more playing time (and perhaps a bigger deal in the future) than he saw in the #Commanders’ deep DL room.

Confirmed, Schreff absolutely wanted nothing to do with the Skins

I think the feeling was mutual. I am glad we didn't sink that kind of coin into him, plus remember in FL he gets a tax break too so that contract is even more lucrative.

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

With Scherff, seemed like both sides were ok with moving on. Weird to see that some people out there especially in Twitter land are surprised/upset over this. Writing was on the wall for a while.

According to the Pew Research, approximately 23% in America use Twitter. So in other words, the Twitter is magnifying minority opinions which makes it seem big deal.

If he was as good as Nelson , I'd be mad but he's not and he always banged up

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

Scherff was basically offered similar money last year, in the $15-$16M per year range, so yeah, he wanted out. Can't blame him at all. Smart to milk the tag another year and take the payday this year.

The #Steelers have placed the original-round RFA tender on QB Dwayne Haskins. It's worth $2.54 million.

Pittsburgh's QB depth chart at the moment:

Mitch Trubisky
Mason Rudolph
Dwayne Haskins

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

If Pittsburgh wants to move up to #11, I would happily take their #20, their 2023 first round, and a 3rd rounder.

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;1312950]If he was as good as Nelson , I'd be mad but he's not and he always banged up[/quote]Agreed. He always missed at least a few games a year. We'll definitely need to find a replacement now.

lol at that depth chart... they HAVE to be targeting QB in this draft.

It will be interesting to see how high the qbs go with how many there are and the lack of truly elite qbs although some good ones. I think they will be able to get a very nice haul by trading down that 11. Love the idea unless there's a guy that they must have.

Safe to say we can pencil in Wes Schweitzer right now, he's been pretty solid

78.7 PFF grade last year

Browns are very active, with Cooper add, pursuing Watson and going big on pass-rush options in free agency. - Jeremy Fowler

[B]Looks like the Baker era is over[/B][/quote]

Which is so odd. He seemed to have most of the tools, go through progressions, can scramble to buy time with eyes down field, accurate

Rookie year -- 63.8 comp pct, 3725 yds, 27 tds - 14 ints, 93.7 rating

2022 -- 60.5, 3010, 17-13, 83.1

I think he def could become a Tannenhill situation, on the right team right scheme, he could QB an above .500 team.

I would like Mayfield on our squad. I think hed fit well, seems like a better version of Heinike.

I just feel that if Willis drops to #11, we will get phone calls about that pick.

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

Too bad he's an OLB, but this is a surprising move:

After Monday’s spending spree, the Jaguars are releasing LB Myles Jack, per source.

Jack led the Jaguars in tackles last season with 108.

I'd definitely take BM here, but Watson is a significant upgrade and a guy that could put them over the top, so I can't blame the Browns for going that route.

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

Kind of awkward for the Browns if they openly court Watson but fail to land him, does Baker demand a trade regardless?

I seem to recall when he came out that there were questions about how long his knees would hold up to the pounding they would take, I wonder if that is a factor. I also thought that he had played some MLB, but I could be wrong about that. Adds more to the FA pool which is good news for those looking at Hicks or Wagner

Cowboys are re-signing DE Randy Gregory to a five-year, $70 million deal that includes $28 million guaranteed, per source.

Re: Free Agency Around the NFL Style
 

While it doesn't help that they are in the AFC, I think the Browns have the more complete team for Watson, compared to Carolina and New Orleans. Also, the Browns have the best QB to include in the trade compared to those two teams.
