Washington has until July 15 to sign offensive guard Brandon Scherff to a long-term deal, but there reportedly "isn't much optimism" that the two sides will come to an agreement, according to John Keim of ESPN.
The team used its franchise tag on Scherff this offseason, meaning he will make $15.03 million in 2020 on a one-year tender if they can't agree to a new contract.
The 28-year-old has said he wants a long-term deal, indicating his hope to remain with his current franchise.
"I love it there, and I've always said I wanted to be a Redskin for the rest of my career," he said in April, per Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site.
