Report: Steelers favored to sign Haden

The Steelers reportedly emerged as a possible landing spot for Joe Haden following his release Wednesday by the Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh is now the favorite to land the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The Steelers will reportedly face competition for Haden's services from the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs.

Haden, 28, has struggled over the past two seasons, but he was one of the better corners in the league over his first five years, and would likely still be an upgrade over Ross Cockrell and Coty Sensabaugh for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers would probably pair Haden with fellow former first-round pick Artie Burns, giving them a more solid starting duo while allowing Cockrell and Sensabaugh to take on more suitable depth roles.
