CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's no surprise the Cleveland Browns have been trying to trade Joe Haden.

It's not just the money.

In fact, the money is not the main issue.

According to the website Overthecap, only $4 million of Haden's $11 million salary for 2017 is guaranteed.

It's possible all $11 million might now be guaranteed, I don't know when that kicks in.

He has salaries of $11.2 million (2018) and $10.4 million (2019) left on his contract. But that money is not guaranteed.

The real issue is performance.
