Browns trying to trade Joe Haden

In Cleveland, the philosophy is clear: Get rid of expensive veterans, and load up on draft picks. Which means another expensive veteran may soon be traded.

Cornerback Joe Haden is on the trade block, according to multiple reports.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Haden is under contract for three more seasons, with base salaries of $11.1 million this year, $11.1 million next year and $10.4 million in 2019. The Browns apparently don’t think he’s worth that kind of money, but some other team might.

Haden has been plagued by injuries the last two years and has had two groin surgeries. He has, however, started all three preseason games this year and appears to be healthy. A healthy Haden may be playing for some other team when the regular season starts.

Report: Browns trying to trade Cameron Erving

Cornerback Joe Haden isn’t the only member of the Browns that the team would reportedly like to unload as teams set their initial rosters for the 2017 season.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that the team is also shopping offensive lineman Cameron Erving.

Erving was a first-round pick in 2015 and has moved between positions during his time in Cleveland. He started at center for most of last season, has seen time at guard and was in the mix for the right tackle job this summer. It looks like the Browns have settled on Shon Coleman for that spot, however, and it appears the Browns are done shifting Erving around in hopes of finding a lasting home on their line.

Erving is set to make just under $1.3 million this year and is signed for just over $1.7 million next year on a rookie deal that also includes a team option for the 2019 season.
 
I really liked Erving coming out, but I have no idea how hes done since being in the league.
 
Browns shopping 2015 1st-rounder Erving

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports the Browns are shopping former first-round OL Cameron Erving.

The No. 19 overall pick in 2015, Erving has played multiple positions and struggled in all of them. He was competing for the right tackle job this year, but he went down with a calf injury last week. He likely would not have beaten out Shon Coleman either way. The Browns are also attempting to move Joe Haden and Brock Osweiler.

Whiners moved Vance McDonald and a 5th to Pittsburgh for a 4th. Basically traded him to move up like 15 spots. Browns reportedly want a WR.

I can see Spruce going Browns when cut. But they might be more interested in TA?...

The Browns with that mega collection of high draft selections might be attractive to teams that may have a dynamic super fast playmaker @ WR. ;)

I'd like to see us bring Erving in. Tough time of year to give a guy a roster spot, but he's got more talent than any of the backup types he'd replace on the roster so it's worth a shot as long as the Browns are realistic on return.
 
Hadens play has fallen off significantly recent years, but that's mainly due to injury. Seems like we're in the business of gambling with injury risked potential stars (a la Watkins). If Wade/McVay think he's worth the gamble, I'd welcome him with open arms. He's currently cheaper than Tru

Haden's play as others said has slipped but also could it be a scheme fit problem with GW?

Way cheaper than Tru especially if you just sign him a 1 year deal. Trade Tru and TA.
 
No, actually it would be beneficial for us in many ways. Possibly get that deal rolling with Donald.
This would be incredibly stupid for the Rams.

Haden is a shadow of his former self. Erving got tried at every OL position and they still want him gone -- teams dont do this with 1st round picks unless they finally see the light (hi GregRobinson).
