    so what’s everyone’s opinion on him? Was he a good signing? I looked on various top 15 cornerbacks and he doesn’t sniff any of those lists.

    What are your opinions going forward with him? Will he regress or get better?

    Very servicible corner back. He can provide veteran leadership. Get him Sutton,
    Hilton and whoever the other safet,y maybe we will have a pretty good secondary

    I felt times last year that Haden got torched was because Mitchell wasn’t doing his job lol.

    Haden is a solid starter. I'd like him better as a No. 2 cornerback, but I think the safeties were a far larger part of the problem last season than the corners.

    Haden is a solid starter. Definately a good signing. We all know as a corner he is better than what we are used to seeing. My only concern is his injury history. He was often nicked up in Cleveland. And he was nicked last year here. If he can stay healthy I think Haden will have a big year.

    He is not the Pro Bowl player he once was but he is still a very good starting corner in the league. I thought the signing at the time was great.


    Here is hoping to an even better 2018 as in 2017 we did not see him play a full 16 game season.

    haden is very good. Always around the ball and does not look like a fool like cockring on the under thrown deep bombs where he does not turn around..... It is a very hard position to play on a bad defense..........

    A broken leg didn't help him last year and he did come back pretty early from it. That is not what I'd consider dinged up either. That was more of a freak thing.:cool:

    Townsend may be a good comparison.

    Yeah he missed 5 games with that leg fracture, I didnt think he would start again last year but was cleared to play in the playoffs rust and all, he will be more into this season after the injury.....

    I think our defense was really good up until he broke his leg in that Colts game. Then it lost Shazier a few weeks later. Haden didn't come back until the last week of the season.

    If he can stay healthy he's good, but that has been Haden's downfall even with the Browns that he was often hurt.

    If you didn't think Haden was good, you must not of watched the games that Coty Sensabaugh started last season, I'll just put that out there.

    I'd rather have 2 Joe Hadens than 2 Artie Burnses at this point.

    I wish we had Haden with Taylor, Polamalu and Clark in SBXLV.... along with a healthy Pouncey. Probably would have made a difference vs. Rodgers and Packers.

    Talks with a much larger ego than his stats can carry. Cleveland wasn't a solid proving ground for him-I'll wait and see this season. Answering to Keith Butler, who should be gone (IMO) might derail any success he'd otherwise have.
