HOURS AFTER BEING CUT, HADEN JOINS STEELERS

-

Joe Haden’s former AFC North rivals are his new teammates. The cornerback agreed to a threeyear deal worth $27 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, according to ESPN, just hours after he was released by the Cleveland Browns. A twotime Pro Bowl selection, Haden has struggled with injuries and missed 16 games in the last two seasons. Haden, 28, joins a Steelers defense that ranked 12th in the NFL last season but was shredded by Tom Brady (384 passing yards, three touchdowns) and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championsh­ip Game.
