The Browns continue to talk to Joe Haden's agents, but he could miss the first full-squad practice today.
Browns top pick Joe Haden might miss the first fullsquad practice Saturday in a contract holdout.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns first-round cornerback Joe Haden is expected to miss at least the first practice of full-squad training camp today in a contract holdout, a league source said.
The Browns and Haden's agent, Malik Shareef, are still talking, but didn't make enough progress Friday to get the No. 7 overall pick into camp on time.
Browns President Mike Holmgren said this week that he was confident Haden wouldn't miss too much time and that the two sides are working hard to reach a deal.
Three other top-10 picks have either signed their deals or agreed to terms, including No. 4 offensive tackle Trent Williams of the Redskins, No. 5 safety Eric Berry of the Chiefs, and No. 8 linebacker Rolando McClain of the Raiders.
The deals break down as follows: Williams -- six years, $60 million maximum, $36.75 guaranteed; Berry -- six years, $60 million maximum, $34 million guaranteed; McClain -- five years, $40 million max, $23 million.
Another reference point is last year's No. 7 pick, Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, who received a five-year deal worth a maximum of $38.250 and $23 million guaranteed -- considered a blockbuster deal when it was signed last season.
Haden's agent, Malik Shareef, said earlier this month that Haden had no intention of holding out, and Haden tweeted Thursday that he was flying to Cleveland that morning and was ready to get going.
Haden, who worked with the first- and second-team in minicamp, will compete with veterans Eric Wright and Sheldon Brown for a starting job. The Browns practice twice on Saturday, at 8:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. Both practices are open to the public.
