With the team still winless and clearly struggling, the Cleveland Browns may be making a move within their roster, and Joe Haden may be on his way out of the team.

Cleveland is looking down this season and many are considering a revamp in the team. This may mean that players may be making their way out or be moved in order to make way for new ones in the squad.

One of the names linked to a move is cornerback Joe Haden and it appears that the Carolina Panthers are interested in his services.

Haden is one of the more reliable cornerbacks in the league and at 27 years old, he already has a wealth of experience in the NFL.

He played four games so far this season and he has a total of 19 combined tackles, four of those are assists. Haden collected two interceptions and has gone as far as nine yards to return the pick. He also returned a punt twice for Cleveland, churning in 18 total yards for both, with a long of 13.

Despite this, things have been very difficult for the Browns as they are 0-5 are currently fourth in the AFC North.

The biggest reason the Panthers are in the mix is because they are also trying to turn the season around after a very slow start. After being in the Super Bowl last year, the Panthers are fourth in the NFC South with a 1-4 record and have lost three straight games.

They are trying to cover up their defense and adding Haden to the line-up will definitely be a big help for them. The Panthers still have a stacked team and Haden would definitely help Carolina improve as they try to make it back to the top where everyone expects them to be.
