Joe Haden, one of the better cornerbacks in recent NFL history, played the first seven years of his career with the Browns before spending five seasons with the rival Steelers. After an impressive 12-year career, Haden has officially elected to retire, and he’ll be heading back to his original franchise to do so.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that Haden will sign a one-day deal to return to the Browns, the team that released him just before the 2017 season. The move was reportedly confirmed by Haden’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland will honor Haden during a game later this season.
