A second player has signed the franchise tender he used earlier this week.
Friday’s transaction report shows that Brandon Scherff, guard of the Washington football team, has signed his tender. Panthers tackle Taylor Moton the first player to sign his tender on Thursday.
Scherff was tagged last season, meaning the label’s salary is 20% higher than last year’s total. That leaves Scherff in the queue to earn a guaranteed salary of just over $ 18.03 million if he plays out this year under its terms.
Washington and Scherff can still agree on a long-term agreement. They have until July 15 to work on such an agreement.
In addition to Moton and Scherff, seven other labels were handed out this week. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott got one of those, but he is playing under the terms of his four-year $ 160 million contract extension.
