With the Pittsburgh Steelers signing two cornerbacks during free agency, the writing was on the wall for Joe Haden.
Haden posted this message for Steelers fans several weeks ago on his Twitter account:

Haden has been saying good bye with cryptic tweets since early February.
Now it appears that there is zero chance of Haden returning as he posted a video today as he packed up his stuff from his home in Pittsburgh. Haden showed a video his closet being packed up with the Vitamin C song "Graduation" playing in the background.
Haden started 68 games for the Steelers during his 5 year stint with the team. He recorded 10 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 11 tackles for a loss. During the 2019 season, he totaled 5 interceptions for the second most of his career.
Thanks for the memories and the leadership, Joe. Good luck at your next stop.
