    Interesting. Anyone know what his problems were in Cleveland? The kid at least has some talent. Hopefully a change of scenery was all he needed.

    Wow... I'm not sure why Cleveland would trade a former 1st rounder to a division rival that could haunt them for yrs., but I'll take it..... especially for such a low price

    He was my number 1 guy two years ago. Worth the gamble for a 6th.

    Holy ****. Adam Scheffler is reporting it, and it looks like a 6th rounder in 2018. Damn.

    I'm shocked, but the Browns know they are going to suck this season. Hue Jackson is cleaning house, getting most of the players from the old regime.

    I thought I knew the Steelers until we signed Vick. Now it seems anything is possible.

    I remember pimping Gilbert to the Steelers in the 2014 draft, he has all the measurables and speed you want in a CB. He also was a good return man in college, maybe coming to a winning organization will change his attitude for the better.

    The Steelers get a former top 10 pick for a 6th rd pick, good value if they can coach him up.

    Yep, he's been a problem child for them from being late to meetings and on game days to poor attitude. Hie Jackson was happy with him early on this year in his... New found attitude.... But lately that changed...........

    Hopefully our locker room and coaches and owners will have a positive effect on him. He has all the tools to be a special CB and returner in this league. If not we loose a late rd pick in a couple years.

    1 move like this should happen every year. A late round future pick on a guy under performing in his current city.

    Gilbert, Burns, Davis, Cockrell.....thats a young and speedy group....throw in the vets in Mitchell and Gay ....I like it a lot

    Yes, I hope he changes because we don't need any more talented problem children
