When news broke on Saturday that Morgan Burnett, the veteran strong safety and protesting dime linebacker, wants out of the three-year deal he signed with the Steelers last March, the first thing I thought was, “How in the blue heck did the Steelers ever land the services of Joe Haden, the heaven-sent cornerback who came to town right before the start of the 2017 campaign?"
Ah, but that was just it. Haden sort of fell into Pittsburgh’s lap after the Browns released him near the end of training camp.
