UPDATE 8/13:
The Steelers are reportedly giving up late round draft pick compensation for Schobert per Ian Rapoport:
The #Steelers trade for #Jaguars LB Joe Schobert means Pittsburgh will send late-round draft compensation to Jax, source said. Schobert is due $7.3M this season, and fills a big need.

It remains to be seen whether Jacksonville will shoulder some of Schobert’s salary or not.
