Gay is expected to sign a contract with the Giants, Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay played 10 of his 11 seasons in Pittsburgh and he's played all 16 games every year of his career. His numbers took a bit of a dip last year, with him recording just 19 tackles and three passes defensed, his worst numbers in a decade. Entering his age 33 season, he'll likely be a backup cornerback while with the Giants.

Gay is expected to be released by the Steelers on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay is one of the longest tenured Steelers and was a member of the 2009 team that won Super Bowl XLIII. The 11-year vet has indicated he plans to continue playing despite rumors of potential retirement. Gay appeared in all 16 games for Pittsburgh in 2017 but did not start any of those 16 contests.

Gay, who recorded three tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble in the regular season finale win over the Browns, finishes up the 2017 season with 19 tackles (16 solo) with an interception and two forced fumbles in 16 games.
EDGE Analysis
The 19 tackles matched his career-low for a season, which he accomplished in 2007, his rookie year. Although he has never missed a game in 11 seasons, his playing time has taken a huge hit, taking the field for just 27.2 percent of the team's defensive snaps this season. Gay is signed until 2019, but the limited role makes him a less-than-desirable IDP fantasy option.

Gay (foot) will play Sunday against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Gay looked to have suffered an injury in practice this week, but it evidently proved to be minor in nature. Look for the veteran corner to line up in his typical spot on the outside.

Gay (foot) is questionable to play Sunday against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Gay went down in practice Thursday and was unable to participate Friday. Expect Justin Gilbert to get the start if he doesn't suit up.

Gay has agreed to re-sign with the Steelers on a three-year contract, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay has yet to miss a game through nine seasons and has made 70 starts over the last five years. He was Pittsburgh's only reliable cornerback in 2015, and while he'll enter 2016 at 31 years old, Gay should be locked in as a starter for the next few seasons. The cornerback position should still be a priority for Pittsburgh in the draft.
