3. Play for a team that is better coached, better managed and has far less chaos and more stability.

of course the redskins can franchise tag him but the result will still be the same as Cousins. No I’m not smoking anything, but it’s time to face facts regarding Scherff. He will not be a redskins next year. Except for Kerrigan the redskins have a poor record for retaining their best players. Call it the “Bruce Allen effect”. Lol

Agreed. We have to stop assuming that good players drafted by the redskins actually want to be here.

If I were Scherff, or any other player on his rookie contract worth anything, I would do my job, serve my time, and work towards free agency. If the skins want to compete with the open market and pay me more than anyone else - sure, I'd consider staying. But money being even, I'd go just about anywhere else. And if the money is actually better elsewhere, why on earth would I want to stay here?
