Steelers trading for LB Joe Schobert

really need an ILB. spillane looks like he was a flash in a pan.

 

I like it! Looks like he can add something to pass defense.

 

ILB is a huge need. Spillane is not a starting NFL player and Bush is coming off a blown knee. Can’t hurt

 

Much needed, ILB is a weak spot.

 

I wonder what Steelers gave up?

Who gets cut ... UG3?

 

Spillane filled in nicely last year. No need to rip him..

wanna rip someone, rip a draft pick like McFarland.

 

he's led the NFL in tackles and has been to a pro bowl. Still young too. pretty good addition. him starting next to Bush is a lot better than spillane next to Bush

 

Nice.

 

I didn't think they had the cap room for a guy making $7 million this season, but I like this move.

 

they both stink, spillane just got BLOWN UP by jordan howard in pass pro ...who is not exactly a big back

 

Washington to the Jagoffs? Wonder who we send?

 

Agreed. I may be oversold on him but I think he instantly leaps Spillane and will be a great surprise.

I think he lacks a top end (speed power all things really) but can play 2 downs well and 3rd ok.

In short, like it. This does depend on the pick but let's hope for nothing more than a 5th

 

Similar player but massive upgrade on Spillane if this is true

 

Jags may retain some of that. My hope is a 4-3 with most being Steelers.

It's a solid book clear for the jags. They don't have that massive hit next year and we have like 74 mil available next year.

I see it as a win win for both.

On the jags page it sucks because when the cap blows up (relative) next year money is going to get tossed so many places. I hope the Steelers don't wait on the tj thing.

 

Jags definitely retaining some ...... still dont get the hate for Spillane.
He played well in the regular season last season, for the most part for a guy that was unknown.

We need to axe these terrible back up RB's and promote my boy Ballage.

 

Haskins next starter .

 

There is no real hate on Spillane. He just isn’t good enough to be a starter in the NFL when opposing OC’d have all week to figure out how to exploit him

he is an excellent ST player and will undoubtedly stay on the roster

 

My guess is they traded the rights to Pouncey. urban is getting the gang back together.

 

Exactly it’s not hating him saying he’s not a starting NFL linebacker. He’s a good ST player and depth piece

 

Always liked Schobert when he played for the Browns. Never heard anything about his time with the Jags. Wonder what Steelers gave up.

 

Do we even have a 4th and 5th next year to trade? Cannot trade comps as we do not have them yet. Like the move, but don't trade a 3rd for this guy

 

Is James Washington in uniform, that may clarify at least one player's future

 

Schobert will make $7 million this season, according to Spotrac.com. But even if his contract says he has three years and 29.75 million remaining for 2022-24, the Steelers could get out of it next offseason by releasing Schobert without having to account for any “dead” cap money.

Similar player but MASSIVE upgrade? That makes no sense, please explain
