HoboRocket Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 This makes a ton of sense. He's super important to the team as their CB1 and should still play well for the duration of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnies20 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I remember a couple years after he was drafted he was on the verge of being elite. Glad to see he is still playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I thought he signed a new deal a while ago, but I guess not. Good news if he can stay on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 He’s the best they have, but I cannot imagine he’s worth that kinda cash right now...is he? From what I’ve seen of him in Pitt, he seems like an average starter built for a #2 CB role. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have overpaid one of their own players like they often do, but wait and see. Now that they freed up some cap space, we can expect the fanbase to once again bring up Peterson21 trades for the other CB opposite Haden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen of him in Pitt, he seems like an average starter built for a #2 CB role. Am I wrong? To us, yes. He is. Even if he ultimately becomes a #2. His leadership and impact to this defense cannot be understated. We have a lot of young players and while maybe leadership isnt something you should overpay for, for us, it's necessary right now. I am happy with this deal. He isnt a world beating CB but I'd put him top 10-12, he still plays at a high level albeit a little less fast than he once was. He is definitely an above avg starter for sure. He earned every penny of this extension imo. I'm glad it got done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 after this contract his career earnings will be over 100 miillion with 4 contracts, well done Joe haden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Weird how his career has shaken out. Guy was basically considered "elite"...then worthless...then picked up by a division rival, and worth some extensions again. Team fit can be weird sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely above average, especially in a league where quality CBs are at a premium, but you are right that he would be better as a number 2 CB, but we dont have any standout CBs, so we definitely need Joe. The price really isnt that bad either. It's not great, but it's only 2 years. We havent had a great starter at CB since Rod Woodson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
