Scherff ain't getting younger and these nagging injuries will take longer to heal as the mileage adds up.

He will be here next year.  If we cut him he would be a 15 mil in dead cap and Hodges was his backup before the injury.  I think they see how Hodges looks next year, if he's not it then 2025 I think we get the RG.

Just because we address RG does not mean we have to cut Scherff. The tugboat was a feature story in the PS because he got a cool nickname and held his own, but for all we know against starting caliber players he could be the next Bartch. I want us to be ready when Scherff either goes down with another injury or begins to show his age. I don't want to stand pat and be left scrambling for replacements when (relatively) unexpected events arise.

Turning to the draft if the right deal doesn't emerge - or to supplement what they sign.

Left guard is a dire need, Center is still a "hold out hope" situation but starting the year badly, and RG is a ticking time bomb with an injured 7th rounder as your parachute.

You word gooder than me. Well said.
