FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2019, file photo, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) leads the team onto the field for the AFC championship NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo. The Patriots have been playing down the fact they weren’t chosen for the opener of the NFL’s 100th season despite their latest Lombardi Trophy. But their coaching staff finds little items to push the players’ buttons, and Brady is as strong a motivator to teammates as anyone in the league. The Patriots play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough this week. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)

FILE - In this July 28, 2019, file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (23) is shown during an NFL football training camp practice in Latrobe, Pa. Haden called it two years ago when the veteran cornerback practically sprinted to Pittsburgh shortly after the Cleveland Browns released him on the eve of the 2017 regular season. “When I came here I didn't think I was going to leave,” Haden said. And he’s not. At least not for a while after signing a new three-year, $32 million contract that runs through the 2021 season, a testament to the club’s faith the 30-year-old two-time Pro Bowler isn’t slowing down as he prepares for his 10th season.
