Joe Thomas is a savage.
The Cleveland Browns offensive lineman took to Twitter Monday to chat about a new piece of news—the fact the Pittsburgh Steelers showed one of his former teammates the door.
NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala revealed the Steelers parted ways with the former first-round pick:
Wow. #Steelers release CB Justin Gilbert. Remember: the Browns made him the 8th overall pick less than three years ago.

Thomas, well, he had some words about the situation:
If you don't like football, it doesn't matter how talented you are, your star will burn out quick. https://t.co/r7PfDSTljL

Thomas would know. He played with Gilbert and more importantly must love football quite a bit given how long he has survived with the Browns.
Gilbert losing his job doesn’t come as a surprise. The Browns were more than willing to trade him and even gave him away to a divisional rival. Trades within divisions don’t happen unless the team shipping someone away doesn’t view the player as a factor.
Thanks to Thomas, we now know a little bit more about one of the bigger draft busts in recent memory.
