Joe Haden rumors: 5 teams that should sign him

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are still looking for cornerback help. While they drafted Artie Burns in the 2016 NFL Draft, they have still been looking for cornerback help this past offseason. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Steelers were trying to sign Dre Kirkpatrick and Nolan Carroll in the free agency.

Haden is better than both of them. While the Steelers have a little less cap space than most of the teams on this list for this year, the Browns will pay up to $4 million if Haden signs for less than that number. Essentially, the Steelers could pay the minimum this year for Haden while he still gets his money from the Browns.

This allows Haden to go to a competitor and still get paid. This is great for the Steelers, as they can do their best to woo him with the chance of a ring. It sounds like it is working. Schefter has reported that the Steelers are the favorite to land Haden.

This really is a mutually beneficial landing spot for both Haden and the team. They get the piece that may help them stop Tom Brady and the Patriots while Haden gets his most realistic shot at a ring. He will also be able to get some revenge on the team that has been shopping him for over a year.
