Not only can he play both inside and outside linebacker, he's also just 26 years old with six seasons of NFL experience under his belt.

What's the risk: Jack is on the pricier end of the Steelers' free agency acquisitions, but he's worth the money. Releasing Schobert saves $7.8 million against the cap for the upcoming season. His addition likely means it's the end of the road for fellow former Jaguar ILB Joe Schobert, who is set to count almost $10 million against the cap in 2022.
In signing Jack, the Steelers add an inside linebacker to play alongside and mentor former top-10 pick Devin Bush, and someone who can succeed at playing both the run and dropping into coverage. What it means: When the Jaguars released Jack, their leading tackler in 2021, it almost made too much sense for the Steelers to go after him. The Steelers had a big need at inside linebacker, someone to pair with former top-10 pick Devin Bush, and they found one in former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack with a two-year, $16 million deal. Myles Jack should be able to help the Steelers on the field, as well as being a mentor to younger players off the field. In bringing him back for one more year, the Steelers aren't committing to Edmunds long-term, and he'll likely cost them less than the $6.7 million fully guaranteed salary he was due to make with the fifth-year option. What's the risk: Edmunds' versatility made him an important piece in the Steelers' defense and he came on strong in the second half of the 2021 season. Edmunds, a four-year starter, finished the 2021 season with two interceptions and 89 tackles.
But after Edmunds' market didn't materialize and the Steelers couldn't find a better fit at the right price to pair with Minkah Fitzpatrick, the two sides decided to reunite for one more year. What it means: The Steelers opted not to pick up Edmunds' fifth-year option a year ago and instead let the starting strong safety hit free agency.
