According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Myles Jack informed the team he will retire. The 27-year-old, drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, suited up for the Jaguars and Steelers during his career and totaled 617 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He recently signed with the Eagles at the beginning of August. However, Jack will now call it quits just a few weeks before his 28th birthday.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Eagles are signing linebackers Myles Jack and Zach Cunningham. Philadelphia had them in for a workout recently, so it's apparent things went well for the duo. Jack, the No. 36 overall pick in 2016, has played in 104 games for the Jaguars and Steelers, totaling 617 tackles. Meanwhile, Cunningham has been in the league since 2017, making stops in Houston and Tennessee and amassing 620 total tackles and 19 passes defensed. The Eagles have depth concerns at the position, so Jack and Cunningham are welcome additions for a team looking to return to the Super Bowl this season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers released linebacker Myles Jack on Thursday, according to a source. It comes on the heels of Jack's third straight season of 100-plus total tackles, as he finished his lone season with the team in 2022 with 104 tackles (61 solo) and three passes defensed in 15 games (13 starts). The 27-year-old limped to the finish line last year due to a groin injury, but it can't be ignored that he's had over 100 total tackles in four of the last five seasons with the Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Jack had signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Steelers prior to the 2022 campaign. His fantasy value in IDP leagues is limited because of his lack of sacks and poor coverage abilities. The former second-rounder should generate plenty of interest on the open market.
Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack is expected to sign a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a source. The addition of Jack led to the release of outside linebacker Joe Schobert, who was scheduled to count $9.7 million against the team's salary cap in 2022. Jack led the Jaguars in 2021 with 108 tackles (62 solo), and he also recorded three tackles for loss in 15 games. The 26-year-old was a former second-round pick and could form a very nice tandem with Devin Bush in Pittsburgh. Jack has 100-plus combined tackles in three of his six NFL seasons and has also tallied 6.5 sacks in 88 career games (82 starts).
After their spending spree on Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars released linebacker Myles Jack on Tuesday, according to a source. Jack led the Jaguars in tackles last season with 108 (62 solo), and he also had three tackles for loss in 15 games in Jacksonville. Outside of the tackles, though, the 26-year-old had no sacks, interceptions, passes defensed or forced fumbles despite playing in an every-down role in 2021. Releasing him only leaves behind $7.2 million in dead salary cap money. Jack has 100-plus tackles in three of his six NFL seasons, which have all come with the Jaguars, so he shouldn't have any problems attractive interest from other teams on the open market. He was a second-round pick in 2016 out of UCLA.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Jack left the game early in the fourth quarter while the Lions were up 31 to 10. Jack had been dealing with an ankle injury for multiple weeks and missed the team's previous game against the Houston Texans. The Jaguars Defense is significantly weaker without Jack, who had exactly 11 tackles in each of the team's first three games this year.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack (knee) is going on season-ending Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. It's a big blow to Jacksonville's already weak run defense, especially with Chargers running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler coming to town in Week 14. The 24-year-old Jack totaled 66 tackles, half a sack and one interception in his 11 games this year for Jacksonville. Fantasy owners shouldn't be using the Jaguars Defense in the first round of the fantasy playoffs despite facing a slumping Chargers offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack (concussion) suffered a concussion on Thursday night against the Titans in the third quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He finished with two tackles, including one for a loss. Jack will have to clear the league's concussion protocol if he's to play in Week 4 against the Broncos. The good news is that he'll have extra time to recover from his head injury. Jacksonville's defense/special teams is expected to lose shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey to a trade soon, and they'll be even more vulnerable if Jack isn't on the interior of the defense.
