The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday they have released veteran cornerback Joe Haden.

Sources had confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday that the Browns were open to trade offers for Haden, who was due to be paid $11.1 million this season.

Haden, who was Cleveland's first-round pick in 2010, has fought through injuries the past two seasons. He missed 11 games in 2015 with a finger injury and a concussion. In 2016, he missed three games and played through two groin issues that required postseason surgery.

Haden, 28, is not subject to waivers and is free to sign with another team after 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Two teams expected to have strong interest in Haden are the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Dallas Cowboys also have some interest in Haden, but there is concern over the price it will take to sign him and his health, according to ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer.

"Tons of interest in him," Haden's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Schefter. "He will have a new deal with another team by tomorrow afternoon."

In a statement posted on his Instagram account on Wednesday morning after his release, Haden expressed optimism about his future.

Haden, who last went to the Pro Bowl in 2014, was also set to make $11.2 million and $10.4 million in 2018 and '19.

Releasing Haden will cost the Browns $3.2 million in cap space this season and $3.2 million next season. He signed a five-year contract extension in May 2014.

"We want to thank Joe for all he has done for this organization both on and off the field," Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said in a statement. "He has been a great teammate and a true asset to the Cleveland community. These are very difficult decisions, we have the utmost respect for Joe and in my eyes, he will always be a Cleveland Brown."

ESPN Browns reporter Pat McManamon contributed to this report.

I really don't want to see him there.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Go to Arizona. He'd be a great fit there as he learns their defense and comes into his own.

Joe Haden is the embodiment of a Cleveland Browns player, scrappy, fundamentally sound, cerebral, strong professional approach to practice and game time, a solid team rep off the field and in the community. We let a good one go and we'll regret letting him go in the future.
