贾斯汀·吉尔伯特的遗忘的2016季节<a href="http://www.authenticcowboyssale.com/shop-by-players-chuck-howley-jersey-c-2_15.html"> Chuck Howley Authentic Jersey </a>可能不是他的最后一个赛季与匹兹堡钢人。 

周四，钢人队总经理凯文·科尔伯特（Kevin Colbert）说，根据匹兹堡论坛报评论的乔·罗特（Joe Rutter），这个球队在休赛期重新签约时没有“关门”。 

Colbert的声明重申了Steelers.com的Bob Labriola上周关于这种情况的描述，当时他写道，发布Gilbert主要是为了省钱。 

"The rookie contract Justin Gilbert signed with the Browns in 2014 included a $1.2 million roster bonus to be paid in 2017 along with a salary of $970,023," Labriola wrote. "For a player who hadn’t done anything with this team yet, the Steelers saw that as too high a price to pay, when there are going to have to be salary cap dollars allocated to Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown this offseason for sure, along with getting ready to deal with the expiring contracts of Stephon Tuitt and Ryan Shazier.

"The Steelers are not opposed to having Gilbert<a href="http://www.authenticnflraidersshop.com/shop-by-players-tim-brown-jersey-c-2_26.html">Tim Brown Youth Jersey</a>  competing for a roster spot in 2017, but not at that guaranteed price. They have not closed the door on Gilbert’s return, but it would have to be at a lesser price than $2.2 million for 2017."

Traded to Cleveland for a sixth round pick just before the start of the 2016 regular season, Gilbert, the eighth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, did not start a single game during his lone season in Pittsburgh. In 12 regular season games with the Steelers, Gilbert was credited with one tackle while returning three kickoffs for 69 yards.

Gilbert was quickly ridiculed on social media after being released by the Steelers, with former Cleveland teammate Joe Thomas saying this on Twitter:

尽管吉尔伯特缺乏打球时间，他和钢人在2016年赛季对媒体说话时却只是积极的事情，不像布兰登·博伊金，他不断地使用媒体质疑钢人在他的孤独的季节在匹兹堡在2015年。

“（吉尔伯特）在我们​​的计划是非常在，”汤姆林在接受Steelers.com在匹兹堡的第14周比赛对Buffalo Bills采访时说，“你经常看不到它，因为他的位置的性质。他是现在4号角卫。第四个角落主要是一个特殊队友，直到三个人中的一个发生，然后第四个角落打了一场比赛约45次。我经常和他谈话，我会告诉钢人民国家。

“这让我想起了一点像俄克拉何马州<a href="http://www.authenticsteelerssale.com/shop-by-players-leveon-bell-jersey-c-2_8.html"> http：//www.authenticsteelerssale吉尔伯特在10月份告诉ESPN他与钢人队的第一个月，他告诉ESPN。“我没有在克利夫兰没有人开玩笑，我没有真正和他们一起出去。”他们把我当成一个成年人。我现在是一个成年人，所以我必须承担责任。感觉很正常。
