I'm not tagging him again. All that does is puts us in the exact same position next year but with even more leverage for him. If you can't reach a deal, let him walk.

In general, I think the franchise tag only benefits any team to use just once.

Doesn't make a lot of sense for some players to be in free agency with a lower cap this year. Also, I wonder if a tagged BS can become a trade asset. Just throwing it out there.

There are cases where it could make sense, with a high-leverage position on a team contending. We are not such a case. Just be aware without him our already mediocre OL is going to get worse fast. That is not the end of the world, but our C and RT look much more mortal without Scherff locking up one side for them. You basically need to start over on OL, which could be better long term. Rather pay $15M+ a year to a RT or LT than a freaking RG. More mismanagement from the past haunting us. For me, very tough to give a huge deal to Scherff because of injury history. But can you really let our only elite offensive player walk?

Pretty sure that mediocre offensive line was ranked #6 in the league last year. I doubt the plan is to start over...

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Slow time so I'm gonna post this here.Saw snippet of Dale Ernhardt Jr podcast with ex falcon coach Jerry Glanville.Glanville hasnt spoken to Gibbs since 91 playoff cause he's still pissed about what the condition of the turf was,that his team was fast and they didnt turn the pumps on to drain it,and he claimed it hadnt rained in 2 months,which has got to be a load of crap:saywhat:
So he blames that on Gibbs,and it's not like he wouldnt have done the same thing anyway if he thought it would give his team an advantage.
I wish Dale Jr,{being as he is a redskin fan should know this},would have brought up the absolute shellacking the skins put on the Falcons earlier in the year on dry turf,probably Rypiens finest day as a qb.

On side note not related to football but related to Joe Gibbs,his grandson won his first ever xfinity race in dramatic fashion on last lap,that was pretty cool

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Even on a neutral field we would have smoked them. They just weren't anywhere near the same class as the 91 Redskins. I'm sure Gibbs is heartbroken that Glanville won't talk to him.

I doubt Gibbs even remembers who Glanville is.

I agree.Werent the 91 skins chosen best superbowl team of all time in one of those computer simulation things a few years ago?

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

there may be some truth to glanville's comments but it's called home field advantage. 91 falcons had a good team but they were not as complete as the 91 skins.

Glanville was and always will be a clown. Notice how everyone talks about his sayings and his personality and never his talent as a coach. That’s because he didn’t have any.
