Justin Gilbert

well, I remember he was a popular choice prior to the 2014 draft. But I also remember watching him play- and trading comments with others here - feeling almighty glad we did not take him.

Still, it's a low cost move even if it does not pan out.

 

I wonder what Browns fans are saying on their message boards? Must be some real (more than usual) bitchin` and moanin` going on.

 

Stop raining on our parade with factual analysis. LOL! I'm honestly really surprised by this. I was wanting a corner when we took Shazier as well but I think it was Dennard that I wanted the most. Wasn't that in that same draft?

 

Ok I had NFL.com up and was refreshing and just hadn't saw the update yet

 

This is where we see if our coaches are as good as the fans say they are. The Pats do this stuff all the time...Nothing would make me smile more than to see Mingo get close to double digit sacks, and Gilbert grab a couple INT's then Gilbert, Burns, Cockrell, and Golson be our top 4 next season

HACK

 

they say he is a major pain in the butt. very selfish so I hope they can get that out of him.

 

Wow! I love this move! Great work, Colbert. Dee Millner anyone...?

 

From what Mingo was saying, the culture at Cleveland was awful.

This may be an interesting test of Lake's coaching.

 

He's stepping into a very well lead defense. Heyward isn't going to take that stuff. Also he has a veteran leader in Gay. The Browns are an absolute mass with zero leadership and a ton of over turn on coaches.

 

People have said that in the past about coming into that Pitt locker room. They said like in "other team" They would be dreaming of making the playoffs this year....and in Pitt...they are not hoping...the totally expect it...in Pitt its a Super Bowl vibe every year.

HACK

 

I'm just wondering what's wrong with him? Hip? Headaches?

 

That was the year the Bears took Kyle Fuller, who many Steeler fans wanted.

 

Milner not needed now, they expect Golson to return by November.

 

According to An article on SD he was basically just an idiot. Couldn't show up to the stadium on time on game day etc.

 

Cowher would have gotten Richard Sherman from Seattle for a 7th round pick in 2019.

 

Ahh needs a babysitter lol what a moron. Let's hope he leaves that junk in Cleveland. Although I bet it's a little easier to get up to play for a perennial winner than it is to play for a joke like the Browns. Plus if he plays well enough he might find his way onto the field. An injury as S or slot CB could put him and/or Burns into the lineup rather quickly.

 

How does this trade affect the salary cap, Gilbert was a top 10 pick still on his rookie contract. Maybe that's why Colbert was creating cap space with those restructured contracts.

 

You do what you gotta do when you're trying to win #7.

 

Let me tell you anyone that spent any amount of time in the hot mess that has been Cleveland since they came back into the league deserves a one time free pass until they do something stupid but until then I am giving Gilbert a break.

 

Soft, lazy talented player! No thank you. No culture changes soft.

 

I just read the lions cut cb Alex Carter. Could he be a target for Colbert as well?

 

If Barkevious Mingo considers the Patriots atmosphere a cultural change... there is no reason why Gilbert should believe the Steelers are the same..


Besides... Gilbert now has a reason to believe he can do something anyway as he is within a consistent winning culture that is patient and steady.
