Did he have a bad year or something last year? That's cheap.

Some people think he did. We should easily be able to afford him. I can't see us giving him more than 1 year, 3 mil

Yeah, he won't cost much.

Seems to me they want a vet at the 3rd linebacker spot.

He probably likes to get 2 sacks in his mouth, then hum the national anthem.

His trolling during the draft was decent, but it's become boring & annoying.

Found a pretty good article on Joe Schobert. He had a good year in Jacksonville in 2020, but Steelers' fans were disappointed with him in 2021. That make sense though, b/c the Steelers run a 3-4 & Schobert excelled in 4-3 defenses with the Browns & Jaguars... LINK

According to Nick Underhill from NewOrleans.Football, veteran LB Joe Schobert is visiting the New Orleans Saints. Schobert, 28, played with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021. In six NFL seasons, Schobert has 661 total tackles, including 23 for loss, along with 11 sacks, 10 interceptions, and 10 forced fumbles.

A fourth-round selection by the Cleveland Browns in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, Schobert spent the first four years of his career with Cleveland. He led the NFL with 144 tackles in 2017, earning him a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Schobert averaged 127 tackles between 2017 and 2019, leading the Browns in that category twice. He also had 8.5 sacks and 6 interceptions for Cleveland, including a career-high 4 picks in 2019.

In 2020, Schobert signed a lucrative free-agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’d lead Jacksonville with 141 tackles, six for loss, while intercepting 3 passes, forcing two fumbles, and recording 2.5 sacks. Just one season into his five-year contract, the Jaguars traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Schobert finished second on the Steelers with 112 tackles last season. He added an interception, broke up six passes, and forced one fumble. Pittsburgh released him earlier this offseason after signing free-agent LB Myles Jack.

The Saints have All-Pro Demario Davis and promising second-year LB Pete Werner at the position, but questionable depth. Fourth-year LB Kaden Elliss is reliable against the run, but struggles in coverage.

New Orleans also drafted Appalachian State LB D'Marco Jackson in the fifth-round and added Eric Wilson in free agency. Athletic veteran Kwon Alexander, a strong presence in the defense over the last two years, remains unsigned.

The 6’1” and 240-Lb. Schobert is most effective as a middle linebacker or on the strong side. Despite his interceptions, he's a liability in coverage and struggles in space. A tackling machine, Schobert is a force near the line of scrimmage and moves decisively in the tackle box.

Schobert is like that former great Carolina LBer, I forget his name, but he was an awesome LB that could do both play run defense and stop the pass on pass defense. Schobert can strictly play the run really well, so I guess they'll still need Alexander.

We should be fine as long as Demario & Werner stay healthy.

We lose 1 of those 2 & our pass coverage would probably be an issue.

Schobert & Elliss are completely legit against the run. Hopefully Kaden Elliss can still improve in that department. Schobert is what he is at this point.

If we sign Schobert, then I'm guessing that we're done at the LB position unless it's a league minimum signing. I'd still take Kwon if we signed Schobert. Not sure the FO would though.

I bet kwon signs with the jets.

I'm taking kwon all day over schobert and i think most would agree.

He is probably holding out for more money and a guaranteed starting job. I think the ship has sailed on kwon. Hope I'm wrong.

I think werner will be fine. I'm very high on him.

Match their stats since 2017 and u tell me Kwon is better. He misses way to many tackle while do you think their rolling with Pete.

Kwon has missed time. He does miss some tackles but he is much better than schobert in coverage.

It's my opinion that they will roll with werner as a starter. He earned it. Werner was elite against the run.

I believe he was the highest rated lonebacker against the run in 300 or so snaps.

Kwon was rated as the 16th overall lb against the pass. That's pretty good.
