WFT's Off-Season Thread

Pay your own when it makes sense of course. Does it make sense to give tackle money to a guard who's going to be 30 and has an injury history? It's not a slam dunk decision either way.

If we are going to let Schreff walk, it'd be nice if we can get compensation now via a tag and trade, as opposed to waiting for a comp pick next year.

I am beginning to think that Scherff won't be back. $18mil for the franchise tag is too much, and for a long term deal, you can't pay him less than $15.5 - 16mil per year now that you tagged him last year for over $15mil.

That sucks, but it's part of the business. It probably doesn't make sense to pay him what he's going to command.

There's a ton of guards hitting free agency, but besides Scherff and Thuney, I don't know anything about them.

Without the injuries in recent season (16 games missed and how many more playing banged up) I think you make hime the highest paid guard in the league knowing today's overpay is tomorrow's bargain.
With the injury history I think you offer 14M APY, which he's gonna turn down, and you let him walk ,hoping it's Bruce's last lest over of mismanaging our draft picks' contracts !

That is assuming you are in the market to pay a top 5 guard salary. If you are in the “let him walk and draft a rookie guard” category then you will be getting the real bargain by only paying a rookie deal. Obviously the risk is that you don’t draft a bust.

I think the risk outweighs the reward to sign Scheriff. And I love the guy. But an 800k rookie guard salary instead of a 16 mil veteran guard salary let’s you do A LOT at one or more other position groups.

I'd say if the budget allows, tag him and look at a trade. Worth more than the comp pick and if not, we've got our OL anchor for this year. But draft a replacement as well as a new LT. I have to agree that he'd be an expensive luxury long term, but too much this year alone? If we spend big in FA on other targets then yes, he'd have to go to make/keep room, but if we don't would it be a waste of money on another years rental?

Sincere question: what would be a tagged RG's trade value ?

The game of football is won on the line of scrimmage, look at this year's super bowl chiefs have the best qb in the business right now and multiple big time offensive weapons and What happened there o-line got man handled you pay scheriff

I am holding firm that it will stay Football Team until the NFL investigation into Snyder is finished. If he is forced to sell a new owner being able to stamp their legacy right a way will add a couple 100 million to asking price I would imagine.

Washington Football Team will not have cheerleaders in 2021 but will add coed dance squad (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/washington/2021/03/03/washington-football-team-no-cheerleaders-2021-add-coed-dance-squad/6893879002/)
