Redskins guard Brandon Scherff signed his franchise tag Tuesday, a one-year deal worth $15 million.
That move was largely expected after the Redskins placed the tag on their Pro Bowl guard just before the start of free agency earlier this month. Washington and Scherff can still negotiate a long-term contract, but now, Scherff signing the agreement guarantees he’ll be under contract for at least one more year.
Scherff, too, will have to report to training camp. In the past, some players have held off on signing the tag to avoid offseason workouts, practice and even games.
