He's had a great career. He's clearly at peace. I'm so happy for him.

[@mongoosemcmongoose2786]

as a Bills fan, would have been AWESOME to see him come in and give us some depth.
as a human being, Joe being at peace with his decision is fantastic.
good for you man.

[@learicist]

Excellent atmosphere this whole clip. Made me smile

[@GageRyanVideo]

Much love from Steeler Nation. Best wishes in retirement, Joe!

[@TmoneybagsWalker]

Cleveland loves you Joe!

[@utah2nyc250]

He doesn’t love the dodo brown

[@23cboykins]

@@utah2nyc250 he retired a brown but ok

[@itsjoeysimmons345]

I’m so happy for you 23🔥 I’m going miss watching you play but have a great retirement my guy❤️🔥

[@kennyortiz100]

Gator legend! Great career Joe!

[@isaacshaver6218]

Great defensive back. Glad he retired a dawg! Go browns!

[@russobenstine851]

Got joes browns jersey and Steelers one of my favorite players ever always made clutch plays and taught young guys they all had mad respect for him as I do

[@RJ-qs6nm]

I don't get how these guys don't get burned out earlier. by the time you are mid way through your career you most likely played football for nearly twenty years with an immense amount of pressure as soon as people realize you can make it to the league. I guess it comes down to the money, but still, once you've made a lot of money it has to be enticing to hang them up

[@kaleb588fronczek4]

You’ve never done a job for millions of fans screaming your name and millions of dollars

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

It's hard to turn down a $1M+. It's great he is at peace.

[@jza80king]

League minimum isn't even $1M.

[@MultiTasker888]

@@jza80king for a vet? Pretty sure it is

[@MultiTasker888]

NY taxes though he’ll take home 600k

[@HomeDefender30]

As a browns fan…. Thanks for everything Joe…. You are a brown for life buddy.

[@dcard228]

Damn. That sucks because the Bills could've definitely used his services, but I respect the move to be with the family after a great career.

[@MrYatesj1]

Great Man! RESPECT!

[@glennjones6004]

Thanks, Joe.

[@PoorManStJohn]

I’m sorry you were stuck here in Cleveland so long without the chance to get a ring

[@halloweentimemachine]

Happy for him, but damn am I envious. Everyone should have the option to spend time with their family and not think about work 24/7 while they are still young enough to enjoy their and their family’s health

[@831lilv]

such a good dude

[@richardfish8379]

tks, andfor time in cleveland.

Too bad for this guy. Go Bills baby!

[@jamesherbst2429]

We love you Joe - Pittsburgh always has your back!

[@russobenstine851]

Highest paid ever at his position worth well more then league minimum he did right thing should do his own podcast

[@naguszed]

cool joe!

[@christophercampbell1677]

Go browns!! Good work joe!!

[@andyphillips4198]

FIRST!
GO JOE HADEN

[@chriskokish9759]

DAWG POUND loves you

[@PhuckYT12]

So glad he decided to retire a Brown. We never should've let him go in the first place

[@SnakeyD8468]

Hopefully he took care of his money because a few months of that direct deposit not hitting usually is a blow of reality to high paid athletes lol

[@mikadothemoongod7155]

Haden retiring a Brown pisses me off lol

[@sonnyyang5167]

He made over $120 million in his career. Enjoy retirement, Joe!

[@billylucas6754]

Forever a Brown. Respek.

[@librarygeek]

As a Steelers fan, I’d rather Joe retired a Steeler, but I’m glad he’s at peace. He was one of my favorites. 😊

[@michellekaverman9572]

GO GATORS

[@davidmitchell6873]

Joe Haden is a class guy, why would he retire as a laughable brown instead of a proud Steeler?

[@tonyibraham5931]

Best years were with us

[@jonv1776]

You had the sloppy seconds version.

[@davidmitchell6873]

Your new quarterback knows all about sloppy seconds, thirds, fourths and about thirty more.

[@tonyibraham5931]

@@davidmitchell6873 easy, bud. Most of these athletes probably do lol

[@jonv1776]

Omg... Are you saying an NFL player or any professional athlete is fucking lots of random broads? That's crazy. Tell me more. Lol

[@DB-jn8li]

He's salter at Steelers didn't resign him lol

[@twohandsmcgee]

He’s clearly not.

[@fmthebaron]

He was asking for too much money.
