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

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?
