THE JOE HADEN WATCH

One name to watch this offseason for the New Orleans Saints just might be Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden.

The 27-year old from the University of Florida was a two-time Pro Bowler in 2013 and 2014, but the last few seasons has been frustrating for the talented Haden due to bad play around him, injuries and a concussion issue back in 2015.

Last year in the days leading up to the trade deadline, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis spoke to the Browns about a possible trade for the veteran cornerback, but the Browns and the Saints could never agree on draft pick terms.

The Browns are looking to accumulate draft choices in 2017 and future years so don't be surprised to see Saints head coach Sean Payton urge Loomis to again go back to the Browns and try and make a deal for the talented cover-cornerback.

In May 2014, the Browns signed Haden to a five-year, $68 million dollar extension and Cleveland may just want to unload his contract for the right price now and the Saints are desperate for a top-quality veteran starting cornerback to play opposite Delvin Breaux.

Now if you talking dumping a first and a boat load of money into a CB maybe this is the guy. Injury issues lately has been a run of groin injuries. but he is a fa in 2019 and in 2018 he becomes eligible for cap causality if it does not work out. 14 mill year cap hit 2017 and 2018. 10 mill in 2019. So there is room to rework that deal out and spreed the cap hit out a bit. In 2019 he will be 30 and a perfect age to end his contract for the saints

Would you roll the dice?

The injuries worries me a little but yes, this is the corner I would like us to trade for if we are to make a trade (since the Chiefs would never let go of that cat Peters).

Not the same player as a few years back hence the Browns with all the cap space in the world wanting to cut the salary

I'd rather gamble on a rookie becoming an all pro than get rid of draft picks for guys nearing the big 3-0

Fabian Moreau at No. 32...

If they release him, I'd put the Gumbo and Kingcake our for his visit...

Uhm... You can't end this thread now. This won't happen.

I am up here in Cleveland and there is not talk of such thing they love this dude and zero chance he is getting traded and I don't care what you offer the Browns.

lee909

There was talks just before the trade deadline last year wasn't there

Euphoria

That reporter can make up all the crap he wants but there is no way Browns part with him. After reading that article again it sounds more like an editoral than an actual report. There is no way this guy is getting traded or released.

There is no way that is in the plans for the Browns.

No way it is even being considered.

No reports of any of this up here and Hue is in the media up here daily. He and everyone else here loves them some Joe Haden.

But, you cannot ignore the fact that the rookie will most likely take two to three years to become that all pro, IF it ever happens at all. We are in win now mode with people trying to push Brees out the door. Whomever replaces him four years or so from now will very most likely be nothing more than average and that will guarantee more 7-9, or worse.
