Joe Haden

Steelers are favorite to sign Joe Haden

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the favorite to land free agent cornerback Joe Haden, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

ESPN's Josina Anderson has also reported that the Steelers have 'strong interest' in adding the veteran corner so there is certainly some substance to the reports. The fit would make sense given Pittsburgh's proximity to Cleveland, Haden's former home. He would also be given the opportunity to compete against his former team and serve as the team's top corner alongside Artie Burns.

Given Haden's reputation and production over the years, he would be a big factor for a Steelers team that ranked 14th in passer rating against and 16th in passing yards allowed per game a season ago.
