I don't have a big problem with tagging Scherff. It's a one year rental while we have chance to draft in a replacement. It might be nice to get a trade offer, but I doubt it, and I don't see along term contract coming in the next few weeks unless he agrees something more cap friendly; why would he?

Wasn't there cheaper RG to plug and play while waiting for a draft replacement ?

Unless they plan on making a massive FA splash and try to be a contender, tagging Scherff makes zero sense IMO

Why would they not try to be a contender? Of course it all revolves around what happens at QB, but I think that's the point - be a contender.

Tagging Scherff isn't the most popular or ideal scenario, but next to McLaurin he is currently your best player on offense. He solidifies that right side, making Moses and Roullier better, and was the best player on the 6th best offensive line in the NFL. Sure, a long term deal would have been better (and still would be), but I don't think they could just let him walk.

They could still get a deal done that reduces this year's cap hit, but it takes both sides. He may be happy taking his 18mil and walking next year. Unfortunately, that's the game...

Yep.

Yes I am OK with tagging him, I wonder which tag it is? Will they let him search out other offers, in exchange for some day 2 draft picks. Apparently both sides wanted a deal, so someone is fibbing. Annoys me that it reduces our cap flexibility un-necessarily. With all the Gs that are going to be free agents the market is going to be depressed. Wonder if ex-Carolina guy, Norwell?, who signed for Jax and may be released because of his large salary may be on Ron's radar.

GridIron26 · 03-09-2021, 07:59 AM

Obviously the coaches really like Scherff. I don't have a problem with this, my best guess is the coaches doesn't want to risk losing Scherff so they tagged him to gain more time to negotiate the new contract for him.

If I'm BS unless I get a ton of guaranteed $$ in a LT offer I'm playing under the tag this year, collecting my $18M guaranteed, and hitting free agency next year for another bite at the apple. I think we just blew our shot at getting a long term deal done.

Yep. Kirk Cousins part 2. Very disappointing.

Different situation IMO:

- BS probably wants to play here if he gets the right deal.

- If there is an opportunity to trade BS, I think this team makes it happen and will not stubbornly keep him.

- I'm probably being picky here, but I think Kirk was in his prime when his situation happened. I would say BS is slightly past his prime.

Agreed, and the difference between then and now I suspect, is BA was always negotiating in bad faith (or incompetence), whereas I suspect RR et al are putting up the tag to buy time for a deal to be signed and probably in constant dialogue with his agent. Didn't BA just walk away from the table with KC instead of negotiate a reasonable deal?

Again, not to revisit the topic, but between BA negotiating in bad faith and Cousins not wanting to be here, nothing was getting done in that situation.

But you are right, I believe that RR is negotiating in good faith and the tag gives him time.

Agreed. He doesn't owe Ron shit, so why would he sign anything less than a monster contract ?

BaltimoreSkins · 03-09-2021, 08:52 AM

I just don't understand paying a guard 18 mil

MTK · 03-09-2021, 09:34 AM

I guess at this point you hope to get one more quality season out of him, and he walks next year going on age 31 having played his best 7 seasons here. For Brandon with the potential for a big bump in the cap next year he has little incentive to get a long term deal done now that he has $18M in his pocket.
