We have applied the franchise tag to G Brandon Scherff pic.twitter.com/GIMz3xdBim
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) March 9, 2021
Don't get Washington tagging Scherff again. Have to get a long term deal done.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 9, 2021
People angry over tagging Scherff - yet this was the plan all along if no deal was reached - and with the uncertainty of the new TV deals and 17th game looming, the likelihood of a LT deal before the window to tag came around was VERY slim.
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) March 9, 2021
Y’all acting made here is just funny
I get the concerns over salary $ for a guard. But I'll also suggest that it's almost never a bad thing to keep an integral part of a team, especially a pro bowl caliber one who's on this side of 30, on your squad. There are worse crimes an NFL team can commit than overpay a bit.

Numbers always in flux this time of year but here is who we have as the cap space leaders (on a $180.5M cap)

Washington coach Ron Rivera has been firm on building up both lines. It has a strong defensive front and by placing the franchise tag on Brandon Scherff it can keep building up that side, albeit at a much more expensive level. Scherff is coming off an... https://t.co/9hrhFpH1Bu

There is a perception that the franchise tag is bad for players because it prohibits them from hitting the market
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) March 9, 2021
Brandon Scherff's two seasons and $33M worth of tags as a right guard completely disagree with that notion.

BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys agree to terms on a deal to not make the playoffs over the next 4 years.
— NFL Memes (@NFL_Memes) March 9, 2021
Interesting side note here for the #Cowboys. Based on the wacky rules for how the NFL accounts for cash spending if Dallas officially signs the Dak deal before March 17 I believe all $66M of the signing bonus counts toward 2020 cash. The new 3 year spending window starts in 2021.

Dak is a very good QB so I'm happy he got a nice deal. In NFC East parlance, he's as good as Eagles fans wanted Carson Wentz to be, as good as Giants fans thought 2012+ Eli Manning was, and as good as typical QB facing a Washington defense before Ron Rivera arrived.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) March 9, 2021
Props to Washington for locking up Taylor Heinicke before Dak reset the QB market.

Stafford was option #1 and Goff was a viable option too; now that they’re both off the table there are very few QBs that are A) realistically available and B) long-term upgrades.
— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) March 8, 2021
If WAS can’t get Darnold I think chance that Heinicke/Allen are 2021 QBs goes way ⬆️
Hot Take: Gardnew Minshew has been a better QB than Sam Darnold while playing in a similarly poor situation. https://t.co/PnZpxFrGG0

The Patriots and Raiders have agreed to a trade that will send OT Trent Brown to New England, per sources.

Brown has also agreed to a reworked contract for one year that is expected to be worth up to $11M as part of the deal.
From @GMFB: The #Patriots and #Raiders agreed on a rather large trade, with OT Trent Brown heading back to New England and the teams swapping 2022 picks. Details ⤵ pic.twitter.com/14l0Ue7jeL
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2021
Brown was set to earn $14M this year and has missed 16 games in the last two years. Id think that $11M mentioned by @FieldYates has to be pretty heavily incentivized

The #Raiders made a big free agent splash in 2019 with these three signings
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 9, 2021
Trent Brown- $16.5M/year; $36.25M guaranteed
Tyrell Williams- $11M/year; $22M guaranteed
LaMarcus Joyner- $10.5M/year; $21.3M guaranteed
All three are going to be gone by 2021.
I always love the "look at our slow and methodical rebuild" theory in the NFL. As if waiting 4 years for something to happen isn't just waiting for players to age or grow expensive.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) March 9, 2021
Jon Gruden's free-agent moves have been disastrous. But when the team is never going to fire you, you can have all the disastrous free-agent signings you want.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) March 9, 2021
One thing on dead money. Not having dead money from a bad deal is good. It doesn't make the contract any less bad though. If you are cutting a player early in the contract you basically carried the dead money as part of their cap hit while they were on the team.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 9, 2021
Its one of the great ways that some GMs escape criticism since the bad contracts are in a sense hidden.

Per sources: NFL and NFLPA continue to work to finalize 2021 salary cap number. Union prefers to wait until TV deals are finalized. Due to this uncertainty, there are discussions about pushing back Tuesday’s deadline for teams to use franchise tag.

The next 2 weeks in the @nfl are going to be like something we have never seen. Cap is down considerably, many good players going to be released, money will dry up quickly. There will be plenty of disappointment to go around. Not the time to price yourself out of situations
— Blake Baratz (@blakebaratz) March 8, 2021
Lack of a set cap is slowing a lot of business—if the TV deals were done by now, chances are we would have the final number. We know the price of 2nd tags (Dak, Scherff, etc.). The rest ride on the cap.

1. I'm going to make a last minute change to the 2021 compensatory picks projection, as there's going to be a Battle Royale For The Last Pick.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 8, 2021
I had it going to the Cowboys. Now I have it going to the Eagles.
But it could also go to the Patriots, Ravens, or Bears.
3. The aggravating factor here is what to do with ties in APY points. App. V is unclear on the situation.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 8, 2021
So I decided to break the ties via snaps.
And since Karras & Darby played much more than Heath, they move up, and PHI nudges ahead of DAL for the last pick.
5. As I said earlier, if the contract of Ted Karras is valued as a 6th rounder & one of the contracts of Adrian Phillips or Beau Allen is a 7th, the Patriots are eligible for a 6th via Karras, nudging both the Eagles (Darby) & Cowboys (Heath) out of the way.
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) March 8, 2021
7. What all this illustrates is that there is always quite the margin of error in projecting the compensatory picks.
