PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers and Marcus Gilbert's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have met in person to discuss the right tackle’s contract.
Gilbert, one of the game’s best at the position who enters the fourth season of a six-year, $30.8 million deal, told ESPN that Rosenhaus spoke with the Steelers on his behalf last week but he didn’t know where things stood.
Talks are believed to be preliminary/exploratory since Gilbert isn't a free agent until 2020.
Asked about a potential new deal in the future, Gilbert said he’d love to stay in Pittsburgh long term and “leave behind a big legacy” with a high-level Steelers offensive line.
“Hopefully that’s what talks are going on between my agent and upstairs with Kevin Colbert, but it’s not in my hands,” Gilbert said. “I need to worry about one thing. That’s why I pay Drew.”
