Scherff is a 20M cap hit next year, which is fine if he plays top 5 for guards ... but he didnt.
Norwell - 59.8 pff, 4 sacks
Scherff - 59 pff, 6 sacks

Curl .. second highest rated safety by PFF w 82.9 .... and hes great in coverage, green dot, D better w him etc .. but did he have one game changing play this year?
I could name 10 safeties id want above steady solid Curl. I know it doesnt work that way and you have to pay whose available and the market is always being reset ...
Kinda like Sweat .. I just dont see either being elite at their position, very good yes but not elite

Yeah, I can't speak to what happened to Scherff this year in JAX, but I do know that we lost every single game in 2021 that he didn't start. Was that a coincidence? Maybe. Either way I was fine with letting him go (not paying him top $), I just wish we would have found a better alternative than who we brought in to replace him.
