Report: Steelers trying to trade OL Gilbert

Veteran Pittsburgh right tackle Marcus Gilbert indicated Friday that he will not be with the Steelers next season. "Next chapter," the 31-year-old lineman posted on Twitter.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Pittsburgh is trying to trade Gilbert. Releasing him would clear $4.9 million in cap space for 2019.

A second-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2011, Gilbert is entering the final year of a six-year deal signed before the 2014 season. He missed 11 games to injury in 2018 and missed nine games in 2017, including a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
