According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the two teams that are expected to have “strong interest” in recently released CB Joe Haden are the Saints and Chiefs.

• Clarence Hill reports that the Cowboys are interested in Haden, but his asking price could be an issue as Dallas is unlikely to get involved in a bidding war for him.

The Saints have been linked to a few cornerback options this offseason and reportedly tried to trade for Rams franchise CB Trumaine Johnson several months ago.

Haden, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Browns back in 2010. He was in the fourth year of his six-year, $74.678 million contract that includes $45 million guaranteed and set to make base salaries of $11.1 million over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2016, Haden appeared in 13 games for the Browns and recorded 48 tackles, three interceptions, and 11 pass defenses. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 88 cornerback out of 110 qualifying players.
