Well, on the Browns' front, they'll eat $8,600,000 yet in 2016:
$1,800,000 in remaining 2016 prorated signing bonus
$3,200,000 in 2017 prorated signing bonus
$3,200,000 in 2018 prorated signing bonus
$400,000 in 2019 prorated signing bonus
The Browns can trade the remaining, guaranteed, 2016 salary of $5,681,500, which would assuredly be a stipulation of the deal given they wouldn't want to pay for Haden to play for his new team.
The team trading for Haden will get that guaranteed 2016 salary plus salaries of $11.1 million in 2017 and 2018 and $10.4 million in 2019.
I can't see the compensation being too hefty with all that to take on and Haden's performance being so-so this season as well as him being nicked up.
You're trading for a premier cover corner salary any way you slice it. The nice thing for the team trading for him is they'll be paying him top 8 money and will have him locked up until he's 30, but none of it is guaranteed so the risk is minimal.
