From Brown and Orange to Black and Gold?

That’s what appears to be next for former Browns defensive back Joe Haden after his sudden release from the team this morning. Numerous reports are showing that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the frontrunner to land Haden via free agency.

Hearing #Steelers emerging as possible contender for Joe Haden. Advocates in building think he has plenty game left, advocates like AB. https://t.co/W9GWhLDMZM

To add to what @AKinkhabwala said on #Steelers & Joe Haden: They were in on Dre Kirkpatrick & Nolan Carroll in FA. Can fill void with Haden

It would certainly be a weird time in Cleveland, as opening day/night for the Cavs and Browns would both feature former players with their new teams. Those players would be Haden with the Steelers and Kyrie Irving with the Boston Celtics.
