Pro Football Focus believes there's one final offseason move the Pittsburgh Steelers should make this offseason.
Doug Kyed, an NFL writer for PFF, suggested this week that Pittsburgh should focus on re-signing cornerback Joe Haden.
Haden, 33, remains unsigned but still appeared to have more in the tank last season. He has offers currently on the table, per a source. Even with Minkah Fitzpatrick at safety, the Steelers ranked 28th in Mike Renner’s secondary unit rankings.
Haden, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, is a three-time Pro-Bowler who has probably seen his best days pass him by.
But he can still be an effective NFL cornerback. And based on PFF's secondary rankings, the Steelers could use some additional help at cornerback.
Haden has spent the last five seasons with the Steelers after being released by the Cleveland Browns in 2017 due to a contract dispute.
The former Florida Gators standout is coming off a season in which he played just 12 games and came away with 0 interceptions. Haden shouldn't be too expensive considering he just turned 33 and he's coming off a down season.
