Washington Football Team Podcast: Scherff Staying?

Locked On Washington: COVID-19 issues continue at Washington Football Team training camp

Jeremy Brener | Aug 3, 2021

Brandon Scherff has been one of the most integral pieces to the Washington Football Team since he was drafted fifth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.

A foundational offensive lineman, Scherff has been named to the Pro Bowl four times and was selected All-Pro for the first time in 2020. Last season, Scherff played on the franchise tag after he couldn't agree to a new contract with WFT management. This season, the sides stayed stagnant and Scherff will play his second and final season as the tagged franchise player.

These negotiations may lead fans to think Scherff is chasing money and simply wants a new start with a new expensive deal, but he says that isn't the case.

On this episode of "Locked On Washington Football Team," hosts Chris Russell and David Harrison discuss offensive lineman Brandon Scherff's comments about wanting to finish his career in Washington.

The guys also talk about how COVID-19 has impacted training camp and the seven players who are missing time because of the virus.

In the last segment, Chris and David invite Julian Council (host of "Locked On Panthers") to the podcast to talk about Curtis Samuel's role with the Carolina Panthers and how it will translate to his role in the WFT offense.

Chris and David deal with all that and more on this episode of "Locked on Washington Football Team". For more podcasts and information, join us here.
