August 30, 20179 yr Browns Cut Joe Haden Loose Pretty big move....Figure he'll have quite a few suitors calling.
August 30, 20179 yr This is sad for Browns fans though it was inevitable. Haden was once a shut-down corner. Ask Chad Johnson. Haden had some of his best games against Chad. BUt injuries over the last couple of years have severely hampered Haden and he doesn't seem to be the same. Offenses are now throwing in his direction and he isn't producing. Analytics sites have him ranked low among Dbs over the last couple of years--88th out of 110. Haden was a class act at Cleveland and a fan favorite. He was a Pro Bowl player on a team that had few things to celebrate.
August 30, 20179 yr From reading the article, seems like the right move for the Browns. I hadn't realized he had fallen off as much as he apparently has the last couple for years. He was one of the best DBs in the game for a little while.
August 30, 20179 yr As a Browns fan, I don't understand this move. He may have slipped some but they still need an experienced CB who can keep the ship afloat and also mentor the younger players. It's not like the Browns are hurting for cap space. If you can sign Osweiler and his ridiculous contract strictly to get a 2nd round draft pick, you can keep Haden on your roster.
August 30, 20179 yr Bengals will probably sign him if he's cheap. He was scheduled to make $11.1mm this year with $4mm guaranteed. That would suck to get cut making that kind of jack.

He would be a pretty expensive mentor.
August 30, 20179 yr I've liked a lot of what the Browns are trying to do going forward. I don't like this move though.
August 30, 20179 yr He'll sign somewhere but like others have said he's not the same player. He will still get decent money imo.
August 30, 20179 yr Well, he will be cheap getting $4M from the Browns regardless where he signs or if he signs. As mentioned, safety on a playoff type team is where he will go.

Analytics say "No" to keeping him. It's how they are building their team. He was scheduled to make $11.1mm this year with $4mm guaranteed. That would suck to get cut making that kind of jack. Somebody cut me, please. TAC... anybody, cut me! :greedy: Just joking. I get your point. I'll bet the idea of getting cut by a team that you once were the second best player on and had been completely loyal to was the thing that hurt him first. Then after he has time to think about it, the loss of income will be the pain that lasts.

Chad wasn't even a Bengal anymore once Haden arrived.
