Is your reliable source The Junkies? Because that's the only place where it's been mentioned that the team offer was low.

Both NBC Sports Washington and PFT refer to the report by Hawk (which the Junkies mentioned), and while both places talk about the two sides being far apart, they don't mention anything about a low offer.

ha not the Junkies. It was Sheehan and Im pretty sure he heard from 2 different sources...this has been awhile ago. Nothing been going on since.

It very well could be they want to wait now for the CBA or to see how Schreff responded after the injury...but there was an attempt made to resign him, and not a good one.

The only source everyone is quoting is Erin Hawksworth, and she deleted a tweet about what she was reporting. And I wouldn't trust Sheehan with anything.

I'm pretty sure Trent and his antics haven't helped, but I think the CBA has a lot of do. And I don't blame Scherff's agent, as it makes good business sense to get a deal under a better CBA.

Its sad when people form strong convictions based on false information. But agree on all points.

The Alex Smith contract also looms heavily over all of this. We're carrying a ton of dead money from that and so we've got to be really careful with how we allocate money. We already have the most expensive offensive line in football. I would prefer not to pay Scherff until the Williams situation plays out. If we do end up having to move on from TW, and we can replace him with a cheap veteran or draft pick, then we can afford to throw extra money Scherffs's way. However, if we end up having to spend big for Trent or a FA LT, then that changes how much we want to spend for a guard.

Also, if Trent pulls a L. Bell, we are saving $11 mil this year, which should help with some cap relief. Also, getting rid of him next season carries less cap implications compared to this year (I believe).

Good point... and we can roll over unused cap to next year, too.
