Jaguars reportedly working to restructure Brandon Scherff’s contract

The Jacksonville Jaguars restructured Brandon Scherff’s contract in 2023 and they’re finalizing the details of another restructure this offseason, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Scherff, 32, is due to count $23,967,000 against the Jaguars’ salary cap in 2024, but the team could clear as much as $10,717,500 in space with another restructure. It will, however, push more dead money into Jacksonville’s future. After the 2023 restructure, Scherff is due to count $7,401,000 against the Jaguars’ cap in 2025 despite his contract automatically voiding after the 2024 season.

Assuming the Jaguars are able to agree with Scherff on a restructured deal, it would seemingly guarantee that the veteran lineman is again the team’s starting guard in 2024. With the return of Ezra Cleveland on a three-year deal and general manager Trent Baalke’s assurances that Cam Robinson will return, it seems the Jacksonville offensive line in 2024 will largely mirror its 2023 line.

Scherff, a five-time Pro Bowler with the Washington Commanders, signed a three-year, $49.5 million deal with the Jaguars in 2022. He’s been named an offensive team captain in both of his seasons in Jacksonville, but hasn’t been able to recreate the elite play of his time in Washington.

While Pro Football Focus gave Scherff a grade above 72 in all seven of his seasons with the Commanders, he’s earned 60.6 and 67.3 grades in his two years with the Jaguars.
