Brandon Scherff is set to play on the franchise tag in 2020 and it doesn’t look like a long-term deal with the Redskins will come before the season starts.

It looks like Brandon Scherff will play with free agency staring him down for the second straight season.

In 2019, Scherff saw the field for the Redskins in the last year of his five-year rookie contract.
