Schobert is set for a visit with the Saints, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert was released by the Steelers in March after registering 112 tackles in 2021, but he will now meet with the Saints as a free agent. The linebacker was a Pro Bowler in 2017 and would likely slot in with fellow veteran Demario Davis at inside linebacker if he strikes a deal with New Orleans.

The Steelers are releasing Schobert on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert becomes a cap casualty with the Steelers, as his release saves the team roughly $7.8 million. The veteran linebacker has logged three straight 16-game seasons, though last year's 112-tackle effort was the least productive of those campaigns. In any case, the 28-year-old shouldn't have much difficulty earning a key role elsewhere in the league.

Schobert logged 112 tackles (70 solo), an interception, a forced fumble and six pass defenses across 16 appearances during the 2021 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert was traded from the Jaguars to the Steelers shortly ahead of the 2021 regular season, and he was productive during his first season in Pittsburgh. He was unavailable against the Browns in Week 17 after testing positive for COVID-19, but he appeared in every other regular-season game. The 28-year-old finished second on the team in tackles and should continue to play a prominent role for the Steelers in 2022.

The Steelers activated Schobert (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert missed Monday's win over the Browns after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. However, he'll now rejoin the team for practice and should be available for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Baltimore.

Schobert was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers currently have their top two inside linebackers in Devin Bush and Schobert on the list, potentially leaving the team shorthanded at the position as Monday's game against the Browns approaches. Marcus Allen and Robert Spillane would be in line for increased roles if neither of the aforementioned starters are available this week.

Schobert recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 36-28 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert has totaled at least seven tackles in each of the past three games and in four of the last five. He's nine tackles away from reaching triple digits for the fifth consecutive season, as Schobert has developed into one of the league's most consistent linebackers.

Schobert totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert led the Steelers in tackles during Sunday's blowout loss, and he racked up double-digit tackles for the second time in the last three weeks. He's played at least 84 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of the last five games, and he's tallied 42 tackles (27 solo) and a forced fumble during that time.

Schobert recorded 13 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert registered a season-high 13 tackles Sunday, but it was just the second time this season that he has notched double-digit stops. Despite the season-high performance, he is likely only a viable option in deeper IDP leagues.

Schobert logged nine tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert had a season-low two tackles in the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Seahawks, but he led the team in tackles following the bye week and forced his first fumble of the year. Across his first seven games with the Steelers, the 27-year-old has totaled 45 tackles (27 solo), four pass defenses and a forced fumble.

Schobert had five tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup during Pittsburgh's win over the Broncos in Week 5.

EDGE Analysis

Schobert has 34 tackles (20 solo) through five contests, and he's been involved in coverage with four pass breakups. However, he has yet to record any other IDP-relevant stats this season.
