The Browns didn't want him at 11 million, so guessing he'll make 6-8 million minimum on his next deal seems highly unlikely to me. Not with his recent health concerns and the fact that he was released 2 weeks before the season starts. If this were March, I'd agree with you. We'll see I guess. Maybe some team is desperate, but I think Haden will sign below market. Possibly a short term or "prove it" deal.

Stupid blind loyalty to a bargain, I'd say. From a poor talent evaluator with no common sense (Pacman was once a bargain, but his skills are declining).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
