The Pittsburgh Steelers have a number of prominent players on their roster who are set to play out the final year of their current contracts, among them Bud Dupree, Javon Hargrave, Sean Davis, and Joe Haden. The latter, entering the final year of a three-year contract that he signed under two years ago, recently turned 30, but has been clearly the best defensive back for the secondary over the past two seasons.
Haden’s three-year, $27 million contract that he received from the front office in August of 2017 remains the single largest contract ever given to an outside free agent, either in terms of per-year average or total money.
