The Pittsburgh Steelers made their trade for inside linebacker Joe Schobert official on Saturday morning. That release also made official that the team gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a 2022 sixth-round draft pick as part of the deal. Not long after that news was announced, John Reid of the Florida Times Union reported on Twitter that the Steelers will take on all of the $7 million fully guaranteed that Schobert is scheduled to earn.
