The NFL preseason is here! But first, there has been a trade between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday evening.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Jaguars are sending Joe Schobert to the Steelers to don the black and gold.

Schobert signed with the Jaguars and– for some reason– they have decided to move on and send him to the Steelers, who suddenly add another talented piece to their dangerous defensive group.

He is due a good amount of money, but he can still produce at a high level and this move makes a lot of sense for the Steelers as they don't want to waste away the final season of veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
