Gilbert’s suspension is one more disappointment on what was initially a promising career. After being traded by the Cleveland Browns to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2016, Gilbert was released in early 2017. The former No. 8 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft had only one interception in 35 career games and was rarely used in his time at Pittsburgh.
Since being drafted, Gilbert’s motivation has come into question on multiple occasions. Following his release by the Steelers, Cleveland offensive lineman Joe Thomas didn’t mince words on Gilbert’s release.

Gilbert is still a free agent, but according to 247Sports, the Steelers have mulled re-signing him for the 2017-2018 season.
