Steelers released Justin Gilbert today, probably for conditional draft pick purposes after acquiring him from the Browns this past offseason.

The former 8th pick in the 2014 draft is still only 25 years old, oozes athletic ability, and has the length the Panthers covet. What gets me most intrigued is his kick returning ability. He returned 6 kicks back in college and would in my opinion be an immediate better option than Joe Webb and Fozzy Whittaker. 

Would love to see him brought in to the fold before someone else snatches him up, he won't count towards the compensatory picks and could improve a team that's in the same division at the reigning NFC champions.

At 25 years old and playing in Cleveland initially, I'd be willing to give him a shot. I think given Wilks' background and what appears to be a solid CB1 opposite him, maybe he's a better fit here.

I don't know what happened in Pittsburgh, but it looks like more of a "the answer is on the roster" and "business" move if I had to venture a guess.

Gilbert was good at OK State, but wasn't a finished product. The stature that we would have on the boundaries and then a player like Gilbert in the NB.... IDK.... couldn't hurt. And I'm a Leornard Johnson fan, but competition makes us stronger.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
