Joe Schobert, star middle linebacker for the Cleveland Browns is the most underpaid linebacker in the NFL, and for that reason, it would make great sense to lock him up now with a significant pay raise and a contract extension. But if the Browns and Schobert’s agent cannot agree on his value, that might cause the team to look at alternatives.
This is not just another player. Schobert is a throwback to the old days when a dominant middle linebacker was the anchor of the defense. He’s unbelievably fast to the football, even though he didn’t light up the track at the Combines.
