Former Wisconsin LB Joe Schobert signs with new NFL team
Former Wisconsin linebacker Joe Schobert has a new NFL home. After spending the first four years of his career in Cleveland and then having short stints with the Jaguars and Steelers, he is headed to play with a number of former Badgers stars in Denver.
Schobert joins the Broncos when they need depth at linebacker. The massive offseason news out of Denver involved another former Badger: Russell Wilson headed to the Broncos.
Schobert was a Pro Bowl selection in 2017 and Big Ten Linebacker of the Year while at Wisconsin in 2015.
The #Broncos are signing veteran LB Joe Schobert, source said, some important help at a key spot. Schobert, who starred for the #Browns and most recently was with the #Steelers, recently tried out in Denver. He helps fill the void created by an injury to Jonas Griffith.
