He arrived in Jacksonville coming off a foot injury and then hurt his knee when filling in for Walker Little at tackle. He was having a good season at guard for the Vikings and considered one of the top guards on the free agent market when the Jaguars acquired him. Brandon Scherff has seen his best days and releasing him would save about $9 million, although the dead cap hit of $15 million will be hard to swallow. If they do let him go, they will desperately need 2 new guards (if Cleveland is not re-signed) and a center. The front office has a tough decision in this regard if they believe the Ezra Cleveland of the future will be the one who had a solid career in Minnesota and not the one we've seen in Jacksonville.

If Scherff is cut Post June 1st it's only a 7.5 mil in dead money and we will save about 16 mil.  He's definitely gone imo.

Really gonna watch Fautanu tonight

Thanks for that information. It's hard to take in all of this salary cap information. It's an absolute no-brainer to do this. As Boselli said on Jaguars Happy Hour today, Scherff just doesn't have the power to be a great run-blocker anymore. Age and injuries will do that. I just hope they make the right decision on what to do with Cleveland.
