Redskins OG Scherff signs franchise tender

Washington Redskins offensive guard Brandon Scherff signed his one-year franchise tender on Wednesday. Scherff's 2020 salary is scheduled to be $15.03 million, but the sides have until July 15 to agree to a new long-term contract.

Scherff started 11 games in 2019 and surrendered just 1.5 sacks. The fifth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Scherff is a three-time Pro Bowl selection entering his sixth season. He has made 65 career starts.

The only player drafted in the top 12 in 2015 who is still with the team that selected him, Scherff turned 28 in December. -
