Joe Haden reflects back on the day which changed his NFL career

On Sunday, Steelers Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden reflected on the three-year anniversary of when he was released by the Cleveland Browns.

On August 30, 2017... 3 years ago today I was Cut by the Browns! I knew I had a lot of ball left in me! You gotta believe in Yourself!

It was August 30, 2017, when Joe Haden was released by the Cleveland Browns. It was a surprising move as the reasoning behind it was due to the salary cap, although the Browns had $60 million in cap space at the time of Haden’s release.
