Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert is going to hit free agency on March 18. The Browns hope to bring him back, but how much will it cost to retain his services? That matter is a great controversy, not only among fans but among NFL front offices
On the one hand, Schobert puts up big numbers every year. In 2017 he led the NFL in tackles, and last year he finished 10th. He made the Pro Bowl in 2017. He is a legitimate star who represents the team well and is a team leader. On that basis, we might be persuaded that Schobert is a top-10 talent and the Browns should just back up a Brinks truck to his home and unload as much money as he wants.
