Good Monday to you Steelers fans.
The surprising trade last Thursday evening for linebacker Joe Schobert keeps looking better and better. The easy explanation for my reasoning is that the financials look great. Originally, it appeared that Schobert would put the Steelers on the hook for about $7.3 million this season. According to profootballtalk.com, that is far from the case.
After conflicting reports and plenty of uncertainty, here's what the Jaguars are paying LB Joe Schobert in 2021 after his trade to Pittsburgh: $3.65 million of his $7 million guaranteed salary.
