Haden Rumor

[Slapstick]

Apparently, he's a huge headache...

[steeler_george]

Hmm, Trumain play and $$$ vs Haden play and $$$....

[RuthlessBurgher]

Trumaine Johnson will be looking for more money than Le'Veon Bell this offseason, for what it's worth...

Trumaine Johnson played on a $16.7 million tag last year...

While I'd love to see Trumaine in Black and Gold, with what he will be asking you can forget about it. We probably could have maneuvered a deal to get Peters, like the Rams did, but I'm glad we didn't. Great talent, but this locker room doesn't need any more distractions, and we already have a CB who doesn't like to tackle (Burns).

Rams gave a fourth and a 2019 second for Marcus Peters

Posted by Darin Gantt on February 26, 2018, 1:31 PM EST

The Chiefs are going to have to wait a year for the most meaningful part of their compensation for cornerback Marcus Peters.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Chiefs will get the Rams’ fourth-round pick this year (124th overall), and their 2019 second-rounder in exchange for the star cornerback.

That’s a startlingly low price for such a talented player, but it’s clear the Chiefs didn’t want to pay Peters in the future, and didn’t think he was worth the headache the next two years while he was under his affordable rookie deal.

The fact it took so long for the terms to be known is a bit of a shock, but it’s certainly not that much better of a look for the Chiefs now.

The Rams didn’t have a second-rounder this year (from the Sammy Watkins deal), and now have just two of the first 159 picks, their own first-rounder (23rd) and their third (87th) before they pick again in the fifth (160th).

UPDATE 1:42 p.m. ET: It keeps getting better. The Chiefs are also sending this year’s sixth-rounder to the Rams in the deal, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

From the article below, it sounds like Haden is likely returning:

Two members of the Pittsburgh Steelers defense are getting back to their original numbers for the upcoming season. The team announced via its official Twitter accounts that there will be two new jerseys for fans to pick up this season.

Cornerback Joe Haden is moving back to his original No. 23 for the upcoming season. He had switched to No. 21 his first season in Pittsburgh because No. 23 was worn by safety Mike Mitchell. But with Mitchell out, Haden can get his number back. He wore No. 23 at the University of Florida and when he played for the Cleveland Browns.

Same for safety Sean Davis. With Haden switching away from his No. 21, Davis snatches it up, letting him go back to the number he wore at the University of Maryland.

Davis and Haden are two of the top players in the Steelers secondary. The defense struggled last season so let’s hope these new jersey numbers will inspire them to step up their play in 2018. Yes, we are kidding. About the jerseys not about the need to play better this season.
