It didn’t take the Browns rivals the Steelers all that long to realize that former first-round pick Justin Gilbert is simply not NFL material, as it took them just a season to decide he wasn’t worth a roster spot, releasing him today.
Wow. #Steelers release CB Justin Gilbert. Remember: the Browns made him the 8th overall pick less than three years ago.

Gilbert didn’t do all that much for the Steelers after the Browns traded him to Pittsburgh in a rare inter-divisional move in early September.
