Beloved Pittsburgh Steelers corner Joe Haden has had a lingering contract situation spill over to Training Camp.
And as the team and Haden continue to be unable to reach an agreement on a new contract, it appears as though the star defensive back will enter the last year of his deal without any deal in place.
Earlier today, Adam Schefter reported that Haden was set on playing out the final year of his deal before testing for agency in 2022.
After approaching the Steelers about an extension to finish his career in Pittsburgh, Pro-Bowl CB Joe Haden has decided to play out his contract and test the free agent market in 2022 when the cap is expected to increase significantly, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus

Shortly thereafter, Joe Haden took to Twitter to chime in.
The corner revealed this was his “last dance”.

Joe Haden came to the Steelers after he was released by the rival Browns following the 2017 season.
The 32-year-old Haden has proven to be a force on the Steelers defense, making his third career Pro Bowl in 2019.
Joe Haden will hope to increase his value with a strong 2021-22 season, before leaving the Steelers for a bigger pay day elsewhere.
