Browns signed CB Joe Haden to a five-year, $68 million contract extension

good player, but


Browns signed CB Joe Haden to a five-year, $68 million contract extension through the 2019 season.

Somewhat coming out of nowhere to close the deal, the Browns have Haden locked up through his age-30 season.

Per PFT's Michael David Smith, the deal includes a $14 million signing bonus and $22 million fully guaranteed. Another $23 million is guaranteed for injury. All of the figures surpass Richard Sherman's deal, which is actually a year shorter in length. In terms of annual average, Sherman is still the highest-paid corner

He can grow old together with Joe Thomas and never see a playoff game

they have the cap room, what else are they gonna do with it? It's not like they have much talent to keep

 

[Supersteeler]

Smart move for them. They need all the stability they can get with their few good players.

It is a solid deal, just that, its the browns!!! Are they putting together a splash?



Salute the nation

Hayden is not worth that money....AB last year against mostly Hayden, 15 rec, 179 yards, 1 td. I think Hayden is just a touch above Ike in his prime. Cleveland being Cleveland again IMO.

The fact that he "loves Cleveland" and wants to play there, that poor sap deserves to be well-off for the rest of his life. His chance for a ring is all but gone, so he might as well get paid.

They just signed more WR's - the Cowboy's Miles Austin and Earl Bennett from Chicago

 

[FSF]

Just like Woodley, Chris Johnson, James Harrison, DeMarcus Ware, Haynesworth, Nnamdi A, Santonio Holmes - and likely Mike Wallace - Hayden will never see the end of this deal and will be cut. Have to be a QB to get it all

i guess the silver lining for the steelers is their is no way one of our corners are thinking. " i need to make joe haden money" the corners we have will not make that combined.
