Source: Steelers acquire Justin Gilbert in trade with Browns

— -- PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers are turning to a former top-10 pick approaching bust status for their cornerback help.

The Cleveland Browns have swung a trade with Pittsburgh on Saturday for Justin Gilbert, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

A source confirms the Steelers are giving up a sixth-round pick in 2018 for the rights to Gilbert, the eighth overall pick in 2014 who has managed just 39 tackles in two seasons.
