Haden ....RELEASED

Dutch Oven

I'll be curious what people on here are saying about Gregg Williams and his defense two months from now. At this point, I'm surprised a gofundme account hasn't been set up to commission the erection of a statue in his honor. Yes, I said erection.

You mean a statue like this?

RELEASED....WTF

We have no corners ......... I guess we are not playing any

Position is thinner than an anorexic skeleton

Joe Haden has been cut. Wow

I was totally wrong on the last thread. Fuck.

Haden cut according to NFL Network

Browns purge on first round picks ...... Cam next then Danny and Myles in 3 years ...

Yep, officially released. Once of those rare "hits" we had in the draft, but unfortunately injuries got to him. No doubt he'll get on with another team.

Good dude, hope nothing but the best for him. Wouldn't mind seeing him at all seeing him go to a team with a SB chance.

LBC mike

Wow and we keep erving

Haden has lost a a step and the 3 concussions last season didn't help. However, he was always able to keep A.J. Green in check twice a season.

It's a shame to cut him, he was passionate about the Browns and would be a good veteran presence to have if nothing else. Another team will pick him up, hope he succeeds.

The play of B-C did him in.

JAFBF

I guess it was a money thing, which is nuts since we have a ton of Cap space.

I know they're also shopping Cam, and I think someone else, but I don't think they'll get any bites on either if they didn't get any on Haden.

Must be some targets on the Waiver Wires coming, and they're getting a head start on clearing some spots - this Weekend is deadline for cuts to 53, so it may get crazy.

Id question the "passion". The last couple of years he'd sit out for a hangnail.

This would have made more sense if we drafted a lockdown corner in the draft..

But I understand not wanting to pay an oft-injured CB alot of money this season.. He's only 28, he deserves another shot.

Knowing Cleveland's luck, he'll go to a new team and put up a great season..

I don't understand the move considering the lack of depth.

If we don't get another on the waiver wire, we will pay for this big time down the line when one of our "aggressive" CB's goes down.

LondonBrown

Owed $4m guaranteed this year, cap hit is $7.8m this year and $3.2m next year.

Clearly a corner(s) will be coming in considering they could have kept him and taken half the hit next year.

Haden was getting smoked off the line in Tampa, its why I came to the conclusion he was getting cut when the trade rumors came out yesterday.

JAFBF

Cut before game 4 in case he got injured, then it would be even more $.

Odds are trades are off for now with all these bodies getting ready to hit the market.

Cutting 37 Players at one shot is pretty crazy, then add in scouring the cuts from other Teams for a Player that may help.

Yea, next few days are going to be busy - we've already cut a few other guys that were pretty much injured the whole of TC.

cambridgeho

Not really surprising, considering his performance and health issues the last few years. He was a class act and always supported other Cleveland teams. Time just came when it had to end. We will get another one this weekend, or trade.

Top 5 CB in the NFL per this fan base, and this board especially. LOL.

Overrated, always has been.
