I'm happy. Been a big fan of Schobert for years.

Plus improves the WLB position, not just the MLB spot.

Big time get. Now either nab a big NT in FA or grab Brown/Kinlaw at 9.

i like the signing but i dont like having almost 30 million in 2 starting Lbers. 

Yeah.  It seems like a good signing to patch a glaring need with an established vet.  Ends up being an upgrade at two different LBer spots by kicking Jack to OLB where he hopefully fits better again.

But it is a crapton of money to have invested in a LBer corps.  Though that's really still more about Myles Jack being massively overpaid than Schobert as a FA really.

🤨 both are way over paid you have all this money placed on your new OLB in Jack. + You just overpaid a MLB when your team weakness is the run and the players weakness is stopping the run this is a match made in Jaguars heaven.

Seems like we have a decent shot of saving 5 million next year.

Jack sure.

Schobert is not way overpaid. He's been listed as a guy that should go for right around 10M for a while and where the ILB position is now $ wise. If he's overpaid, it's by 1-2M per, but the guarantees are so low it has very little impact on how we shape the roster long term.

They would have been better off giving 54 mill to Reader (If accepted.. I mean he did sign with the Bengals) I would have been more optimistic about that. I think you could have found a solid MLB in the draft to fill that spot. 

Reader is a 2-down player though. I think I may be with you due to our massive run D issues but that's an unfortunate truth.

Schobertis known as a tremendous leader that gets everyone in the right spot (something we've lacked since Poz) and one of the best coverage LBs out there. He's also a great locker room guy (again, another massive issue).

He's a very good, but not elite, inside LB. Littleton (who is coming off a better year ) but not nearly the track record got 12M and that was considered a steal by most. Blake Martinez who isn't close to Schobert got $10M per.
