CINCINNATI — There are plenty of solid veteran guard options for the Bengals to target in free agency this March. One of those is Jaguars free agent right-guard Brandon Scherff.
The 33-year-old just wrapped up his 10th NFL season. He never hit his Washington ceiling in Jacksonville but still played respectable ball over the past three seasons, including a 64.7 PFF grade (74.5 pass-blocking grade) on 1,013 snaps this past season.
He'd be a decent option to protect Joe Burrow on a short deal. Scherff's posted a 72-plus PFF pass-blocking grade in eight of his 10 seasons. Check out some of his intriguing metrics from Stat Account:
