    Could Justin Gilbert be coming to the Burg?

    Steelers looking to make a trade with the Browns. That's a rare event. Lets hope if true price is not to high.

      Very interesting....

      "The Cleveland Browns have traded former first-round cornerback Justin Gilbert to the Pittsburgh Steelers according to a report from Adam Schefter. The Oklahoma State graduate has 39 tackles and an interception returned for a touchdown."

        The #Browns traded former first-round CB Justin Gilbert to the #Steelers for a 6th rounder in 2018, source said.

        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            The price is right.

                From what I remember that year, Colbert had Gilbert and Beckham really high on his board.

                This will be a great test, both for Gilbert and Carnell Lake. I'd love for the Steelers to strike gold with this move - or even just find a solid starter. This is a very low-risk move. Hopefully it pans out, but if not, a 2018 6th isn't a huge price.

                  A 6th rounder 2 years down the road for a corner who was the 8th overall pick in 2014 and doesn't turn 25 until November,not too shabby

                    Top 10 pick, phenomenal athlete, wasn't he also a returner in college. hopefully in a stable environment in a top class organization he can realize his potential. I like it too, for just a 6th rnd pick.

                        There was just to much optimism about the direction of the organization, they couldn't handle it.

                              Since Steeler fans automatically dub every Pittsburgh draft pick "the steal of the draft," it was about time that they added a consensus "bust of the draft" instead.
