Joe Haden will officially retire from the NFL with the team that he started his professional football career.
Haden, who spent the last five seasons with the Steelers, signed a one-day contract on Tuesday to retire with the Browns, where he spent the first seven of his 12 years in the league. The news comes more than a month and a half after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Haden would sign the one-day contract.
The three-time Pro Bowler had the desire to retire in Cleveland due to his association with the team’s fanbase.
