Browns release veteran cornerback Joe Haden

"I want to thank my coaches, the organization and especially my teammates who have become family." Haden fought through a finger injury, a concussion and missed 11 games in 2015. He also played while suffering from two groin issues, which required surgery in the postseason. But as of 4 p.m. on Wednesday, he can sign over to another team, and the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs have their eyes on him. The Browns lose $6.4 M in cap space over the next two years for releasing Haden. Sashi Brown, Browns executive VP of football operations
