On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers formally announced what we already knew. The team has acquired former Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert for a sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

This information first surfaced on Thursday just before the start of the Steelers preseason tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles. Schobert is a significant upgrade over Robert Spillane and will add a quality coverage player in addition to being a guy who amasses big tackle numbers.
