Joe Haden To Re-Sign For Browns For Just One Day Before Retiring

NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns

Former Cleveland Browns man, Joe Haden, is set to re-sign for the Browns on a one-day contract, before retiring.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported today that the Haden, who left the Browns in 2017, wants to retire in Cleveland. By signing the one-day contract, he can do just that.

Haden had spent 2017-2021 with the Steelers. He settled quickly into their secondary, and made 66 appearances for the Pittsburgh side. A foot injury in his last season with the Steelers stalled his career, which resulted Haden being released.

A return home for Haden

The return back to Cleveland, even on a one-day contact, sees Haden return back to the team that drafted him back in 2010.

Haden was a first-round draft pick, he quickly made his presence in Cleveland known. He was a two-time Pro Bowler in Cleveland (2013 and 2014), while getting at least three interceptions in five of seven seasons.

His decision to retire brings to an end a 12-year career that saw Haden make 148 starts, 615 tackles, 29 interceptions and two touchdowns. He was also selected for three Pro Bowls.
