Washington Redskins Pro Bowl guard Brandon Scherff is signing his franchise tag per Adam Schefter. Scherff and the Redskins have been trying to work out a long-term deal for a while now, but reports said they weren’t close on a deal. Schefter reports the franchise tag is $15-plus million for this year, but earlier reports have the franchise tag value for OL at $14.781 million for this season.
Now that Brandon Scherff has signed his tag, the team has a few options going forward. Head Coach Ron Rivera has indicated that he wants to keep Scherff here long-term, and Scherff has said he wants to be a Redskin for life.
