What's the going rate for a 28 year old cornerback on a 1 year deal?

Also -- with Joe Haden being available, how do you add him to your 53? Expose a younger CB you've started to develop to waivers, or cut Kellen Moore?.

4 NFL playoff contenders that should sign Joe Haden

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...ld-sign-joe-haden/ar-AAqZmap?ocid=mailsignout

2. Dallas Cowboys

After their secondary was picked apart in free agency, the Cowboys could use all the help they can get at the corner position. The team has no veteran depth behind starters Nolan Carroll and Orlando Scandrick, who is at his best in the slot. Dallas used two Day 2 draft picks on corners - Jourdan Lewis and Chidobe Awuzie - but rookie defensive backs tend to struggle.

The team doesn't have a lot of cap room to work with, but that shouldn't be a problem with Cleveland on the hook for most of Haden's salary if it falls under $4 million, which it likely would…

Miami should go after him, if they have the room-signing Cutler and having T-Hill still on the books.
Florida boy, and hell their secondary needs talent.

How do all these publications always have such strong opinions but never even have the facts of the roster straight.

Anthony brown is now a veteran cb, He played all year last year and will be relied upon.

I'd certainly cut Kellen Moore regardless. Guy can't play.

But I'd be OK risking Marquez White to waivers for Haden. I think given White's missed time and up and down play, there a better than average chance he makes it to the practice squad.

Just my opinion.

Not how the cap works.

Dead cap space is just that, space on the cap. Not actual additionnal money paid out to him. They do owe him $4M in guaranteed money so if a team signs him the Browns owe Haden the difference of $4M and whatever the new contract is for this season.

So if the Cowboys signed him to a contract where he makes $900,000 for the 2017 season, the Browns owe him $3,100,000.
Right .......... but if it takes 5m a year to sign DAL would pay the whole 5m
