To the surprise of almost no one, the Pittsburgh Steelers released former Cleveland Browns cornerback Justin Gilbert on Monday.
The move came on the first day that teams were allowed to release players and just six months after the Browns traded Gilbert to Pittsburgh for a 2018 sixth-round draft pick.
Gilbert appeared in 12 games for the Steelers, only 11 of which came on the defensive side of the ball. The rest of time that Gilbert saw the field it was on special teams.
One of two first-round draft picks by the Browns in the 2014 NFL Draft, Gilbert would go down as the worst draft pick in franchise history if it were not for quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was the second of the Browns two first-round draft picks in that fateful draft.
