End of the day, if they sign Scherff to 15 per, I’m fine with it. I like him, he is one of our few studs. We usually have 8-10m in unused cap per year anyway.Heh, touche. But actually the NFL guard cap hits these days are all creeping up above $15M, not just those two. And into 2022 and beyond, the trend continues.
Also, I'm not sure it will take 5/90/50 to get it done. I've seen 4/60/35 as what it will take, so we will just have to see what he ends up at, either here or elsewhere.
Bottom like to me is, you don't rebuild the Hogs by cheaping out and hoping 4th rounders become something they've never shown. Scherff's deal may seem expensive today, but he'll be well under market when the deal ends.
But in a perfect roster building world, guards don’t get double digit money.
I thought they offered him 14 per last year and he declined. anything more than 15 ... idk.
