Source: Free Agent DB Justin Gilbert has been suspended by the Commissioner for the first 4 weeks of the 2017 season. Former 1st rd pick.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

it seems like that's one draft pick that won't pan out

Free agent? The steelers let him go?
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM my two cents...

Free agent? The steelers let him go? Yeah, he didn't even last there six months before they axed him. Swish said it best, what a waste of talent. His NFL career is over IMO. He's done nothing in the NFL except that one INT play.

Unfortunately the jokes on us...he made millions without doing squat.

Man that ranks right up there with the worst picks ever by any team. Very physically talented, but something between the ears or in the heart was just missing.. What a waste.

Just think about the right track we could have been on with so many years of 2 draft picks. The Gilbert/Manziel and Richardson/Weeden are just an abomination (luckily we recouped a little with the Richardson one ... only to blow it two years later)

Is there an anti bump button. Last night I was hoping for an anit bump button, and there's 3 more responses,
and now this one.
Got worried when I first read the thread title, had to try to remember who he was. I mean he wasn't even a Cleveland Brown for at least a full year, and that's before Pittsburgh cut him. You can't be suspended from something you don't do anyways, or don't do anymore. Like suspending Michael Phelps from the tour de france, or Lance Armstrong from professional boxing in the state of Nevada.
Maybe the ref's can lock the thread, to be an anti bump. Or, maybe more people have more to say on this and want to weigh in. Maybe someone should start a poll in the k9 consensus to either keep this thread going, or delete/lock it. It is the slow season.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I don't know if this is true or not, but to me, Gilbert is an extra special type of bust.
Weeden, Richardson, Quinn, etc. were guys that kinda looked the part, tried hard, had their moments, but ultimately (for one reason or another) just didn't quite make it. Other teams, to varying degrees, have players that bust similarly.
In the case of Gilbert, it's just something totally different. The guy had attitude issues that (allegedly) completely took him off of other people's lists. We took him high without ever meeting with him, and his attitude issues basically keep him from seeing the field at all.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

oober, the litany of squandered first round picks the past few years can make one nauseous but the daily double of Gilbert and manziel the same year is the dregs of awful drafting. doubt there has been anything even close to that abomination.

I just recall that day when Gilbert was drafted the slobbering and drooling over Farmer and Pettine like they landed the next great CB and how Gilbert was gonna lock down Brown and Green for year's to.come Only 2 1st Rd picks of that draft are no longer in the NFL Care to guess who they are ?

And here's yet another one of our own the incompetent FO let get away. I find it almost impossible to believe that we got draft picks for Gilbert and Mingo, from quality organizations like the Steelers and Patriots. That really blows my mind.

He walks away with 12 million gauranteed I believe. I mean that was his contract with us I believe.
I'd call him dumb, but he did make millions basically just practicing.

I don't mean this in a super negative way.
But I wonder, 5 years later.
How much he has left.

I can be more forgiving of guys who don't live up to hype due to injury ... or even guys that, by all accounts, work hard and are good teammates
but guys like Gilbert who steal paychecks get under my skin

I mean this in a negative way:
How much does he have left? Can't be used up by any stretch of our imagination . . . . On $12M there'd be at least 10% taken right off the top for his agent. If he had a manager or management team, there'd be another 15%, so figure $9M before taxes. Then: Tax Type.........Marginal Tax Rate...Effective Tax Rate..........Amount Federal.................39.60%..................37.40%..............$3.365,801 FICA.......................2.35%....................2.41%............... $217,011 State..................... 5.00%................... 4.97%............... $447,168 Local..................... 2.25%....................2.25%............... $202,500 Total Income Taxes.................................................................... $4,232,480 Income After Taxes.................................................................... $4,767,520 Substract binge spending on clothes, cars, watches, sneaker collection & tattoos, mama's house, his own overpriced pad, stupid investments, making it rain & cases of Cristal, out of town trips with the posse, & leach money, and he's probably got about eighty bucks left. Maybe he put $40K away in an IRA, but who knows?

That's the way a lot of people feel these days when facts are reported. Why wouldn't it reflect more poorly on the Steelers who picked him up?
