Joe Haden brings down Odell Beckham Jr. and figures to find a home with a new team soon. (Scott R. Galvin/USA Today)A day after a report Tuesday that the Cleveland Browns were aggressively trying to trade cornerback Joe Haden, the team announced Wednesday morning that it had cut him, a “wow” move that has general managers around the league taking notice. pic.twitter.com/Rl3zUZErS6 — NFL (@NFL) August 30, 2017So why is Haden, a two-time Pro Bowl selection who was a first-round draft pick (seventh overall) in 2010, suddenly unemployed, then? The NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Haden had collected about half of the five-year, $68 million extension he signed in 2014. Expect this post to be updated fairly soon with some team signing Haden.
