Report: Myles Jack, Steelers Expected to Agree 2-Year, $16M Contract in Free Agency

According to Adam Schefter, the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to sign former JacksonvilleJaguars LB Myles Jack to a two-year, $16 million contract.

Jack was let go by Jacksonville on March 15. The move saved the Jags $8.35 million, but it cost them $4.8 million in dead money.

Jack led Jacksonville in tackles last season. He had a career-high 118 tackles in 14 games in 2020 and finished with at least 107 tackles in three of the last four years.

Jack was drafted in the 36th spot. He has missed just nine games in six years and is one of the more durable defenders in the league. He was a nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2021.

Jacksonville signed Jack to a four-year contract extension that included a $33.06 million guarantee. The deal made Jack the third-highest paid inside linebacker in the league.

The addition of Jack gives the team a tackling machine who will immediately become a leader.
