It’s a tough day for some players as their NFL dreams might have to take a detour when they receive the news from coach Mike Tomlin that their days wearing the Black & Gold have come to an end for now. Tomlin had to deliver bad news to 22 players on Saturday to get down to the 53-man roster.
Trade Alert
In addition to the roster cuts the Steelers acquired former first-round cornerback Justin Gilbert in a trade from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick. Gilbert was one of those corners that every Steelers fan had circled on their mock drafts in 2014 when the team took linebacker Ryan Shazier out of Ohio State instead of a defensive back with their first round pick.
