Joe Schobert – Cleveland Browns
According to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot, the Cleveland Browns won’t be able to retain Joe Schobert, who could be eying a deal worth $10 million a year. If that’s true, a lot of fans feel like the team would be losing a key player as he’s been quite productive during his four seasons, racking up 408 combined tackles (15 of which were tackles for loss), 8.5 sacks, six interceptions, and seven forced fumbles.
With experience as a field general for Cleveland, Schobert would be an ideal option to come in and help a young linebacking corps that lacks star power. He’s started in 49 games while in Cleveland and for the most part it shows as he’s quick at recognizing plays. He’s not quite the athlete Littleton is but would be an upgrade for the Jags’ defense without a doubt. Like Littleton, the question is rather or not he’s too high for the Jags’ price range (at least at the position), though.
