Myles Jack‘s first year in Pittsburgh was also his last.

The Steelers have cut Jack today, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

A veteran linebacker who played his first six seasons in Jacksonville, Jack signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Steelers a year ago. Cutting him today saves $8 million in salary cap space for the Steelers.

Jack is only 27 years old and started 13 games last season, so it’s likely that he’ll have several teams interested in his services, though likely not at $8 million a year.

  1. UCLA did him no favors by using him as a RB. He can no longer run like he used to and that added pounding in college did not help. Pitt used to be a team that built through the draft, now they are signing vets off the street like they are only a player or two away from a title. They aren’t!

  2. Epic bust just like Bud Dupree and Jarvis Jones

    Epic….? You are cluelessly hating on the Steeers . Stop embarrassing yourself Jack did a decent job last year.

  3. I had high hopes for Miles Jack when he was drafted. Sad that he didn’t live up to expectations.

  4. Minnesota is a possibility since Flores is now the DC after being the Steelers LB coach last year. And Kendrick’s was just cut, ironically Jack’s former college teammate

    Added pounding in college? Jack had all of 68 rushing attempts. He also only played two full seasons and then only 3 games in his third season before suffering a non contact injury in practice. So much running and so much pounding in two seasons. Tell us all about players who play for 4 years in college, or have additional games played in the NFL, like the playoffs. Jack has much less mileage.

  6. Jack freelances and makes the defense look out of place and foolish. I don’t even know if he reads the playbook.

  7. He was a decent addition, but it would be a stretch to say he a significant impact. The draft will provide a replacement and if the sign another vet, it will be for depth. Maybe they bring him back at a cheaper rate, but not too likely.

  8. He was the Steelers leading tackler for most of the season. He was the only linebacker who didn’t get hemmed in 90% of the time.
