Source: Steelers trade OT Gilbert to Cardinals

The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert to the Arizona Cardinals, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The source said the Steelers will receive a late sixth-round pick in return.

Gilbert appeared in 88 games (87 starts) over eight seasons with the Steelers after they drafted him in the second round in 2011.

He appeared to indicate his time in Pittsburgh was over earlier Friday, when he tweeted "Next chapter."

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, in a limited sample last season (5 starts, 194 pass blocks), Gilbert recorded a pass block win rate of 87 percent -- the best of all Steelers offensive linemen.
