Joe Schobert Fantasy

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing a deal to acquire linebacker Joe Schobert from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The terms of the deal are not yet reported but it appears that Schobert will join Pittsburgh just one year into a five-year deal that he signed with the Jaguars last offseason. Schobert spent the first four years of his career with the Cleveland Browns, so he will be familiar with the opposing offenses in the AFC North. He made 141 tackles and had 2.5 sacks as a member of the Jags last season. A lock for at least 100 tackles annually, he remains a starting-caliber linebacker in fantasy IDP leagues.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a five-year, $53.75 million deal with former Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert on Tuesday, according to a source. Schobert will receive an average of $10.75 million per season, $12 million to sign and $22.5 million in guarantees. The 26-year-old from Wisconsin had 408 combined tackles (252 solo), 8.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, six interceptions and 20 passes defensed in his fours with Cleveland. He was a Pro Bowler in 2017 and compiled 133 tackles (89 solo), seven tackles for loss, four QB hits, four interceptions, nine passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 2019. He's an exceptional playmaker in the middle of the field and has had 100-plus combined tackles each of the last three seasons. He's a very solid addition to Jacksonville's defense.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert (hamstring) is week-to-week and "will be down for a little while," according to head coach Hue Jackson. It's a blow to a Cleveland defense that will be facing a strong offense in the Buccaneers in Week 7. Schobert has been a starter in 2018 and has posted 49 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and an interception in six games. Expect James Burgess to fill in at middle linebacker for however long Schobert is out.
