Joe Haden has agreed upon a three-year, $27 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Haden will receive $7 million in Year 1 guaranteed.

Haden had better financial offers from other teams.

Haden was released on Wednesday by the Cleveland Browns.

Haden last made a Pro Bowl in 2014.

The Cleveland Browns have released Joe Haden.

It was reported on Tuesday that the Browns were open to trade offers for the cornerback, who was due to be paid $11.1 million this season.

A first-round pick in 2010, Haden missed 14 games due to injury the last two seasons.

The Buffalo Bills have signed Keith Wenning as both Tyrod Taylor and T.J. Yates deal with concussions at quarterback.

Wenning, who played collegiately at Ball State, is familiar with offensive coordinator Rick Dennison.

The San Francisco 49ers have released Ahmad Brooks.

Brooks joined the 49ers in 2008 and was their longest-tenured defensive player.

Rey Maualuga has been signed by the Miami Dolphins.

Maualuga, 30, played eight years for the Bengals, including two seasons with current Miami defensive coordinator Matt Burke. 

The Dolphins are hurting at middle linebacker after losing second-round pick and potential starter Raekwon McMillan (knee) for the season in Miami's first exhibition game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers expected to reach an agreement with Le'Veon Bell on a long-term contract.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Friday that Bell nixed an offer "at the last minute," even though team officials thought they had come to terms with his agent on a contract paying more than $12 million annually over five years.

Bell's agent, Adisa Bakari, said he and his client never had any agreement with Steelers. "All stories to contrary are false," Bakari told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Bell skipped training camp and hasn't signed his $12.1 million franchise tender.

Bell told ESPN after the deadline expired that "I feel I'm worth more than what they are offering me," but that he would play a full season in 2017. Bell could report to the team as early as next week, though the team has maintained it isn't sure exactly when he will return.

Le'Veon Bell plans on reporting back to the Pittsburgh Steelers before the start of the regular season. Bell is holding out after the two sides were unable to agree upon a long-term contract.

It is not yet clear when Bell will report but he's not expected to miss any games.

Bell will play under the $12.1 million franchise tag in 2017.

Bell is considered in the top tier of running backs by RealGM for fantasy football.

Roger Goodell said the NFL is not currently considering the reinstatement of Josh Gordon.

Gordon hasn't played a regular season game since 2014 and his reinstatement petition in May was denied.

Gordon participated in preseason before the 2016 season.

The Browns would welcome Gordon back to the team even though they've largely moved on from him.

Ryan Mathews was medically cleared from his neck injury suffered last season and immediately released by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mathews suffered a herniated disk in his neck in Week 16 last season.

"We want to thank Ryan for his contributions to the Philadelphia Eagles over the past two seasons," the team said in a statement. "We spoke today and had a productive conversation about his future and the direction of our team going forward.

"First and foremost, we are glad that Ryan is healthy and has been cleared to return to football activities but given the current state of our running back position, we feel like it is best for both sides to go in a different direction. We wish him all the best as he continues his career."

The long-expected move gives the team $4 million in cap relief.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed Thad Lewis.

The Ravens have been shuffling quarterbacks all summer behind Ryan Mallett, who is filling in for the injured Joe Flacco.

Lewis is the latest quarterback signed by the Ravens since they began to consider Colin Kaepernick.

Lewis has played for seven teams over the past seven seasons, compiling a 2-4 record as a starter.
