Redskins place franchise tag on offensive guard Brandon Scherff
The Washington Redskins have made a critical decision. They’ve franchise tagged right guard Brandon Scherff.
In each of the past two offseasons, the Washington Redskins have elected not to use their franchise tag. But this offseason, they will be using it to keep around a key member of their offensive line.
That player will be Brandon Scherff, as the team officially confirmed on Twitter. The former top-five pick out of Iowa was slated to become a free agent after playing 2020 on his fifth-year option. Keeping Scherff was the expected result of this offseason. The only question was about how.
