NFL star Joe Haden has reportedly agreed to sign a one-day contract in order to retire with the Cleveland Browns, just hours before his former side Pittsburgh Steelers face them in the week three opener.
The 33-year-old cornerback has called time on his NFL career after 12 seasons, but has decided to do so with the Browns rather than at the Steelers. The decision was made by Haden on Wednesday, less than 24 hours before the two sides meet at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Haden was picked up by the Browns back in 2010 as a first-round draft pick, but was then released in 2017 after it was reported that the CB would not be willing to reduce his salary. Haden then was signed by the Steelers, but decided on Wednesday to finish things in Cleveland where it all began - with ESPN's Adam Schefter first reporting the plan..
