I'm sure Thompson would consider him if the contract wasn't an issue. Haden has one of the highest cap numbers in all of football...I know Revis makes more as a CB, but I believe Haden is #2...or very close to it. I can't see any NFL team making a move for Haden right now with that contract and his lack of production on the field in the last 2 years.
Chucky Woodson missed the last 3 games of the 2014 season with a leg injury. Next season, he missed 10 games with a broken leg. Production was down. Many clown NFL scouts thought Wood had lost a step. "Neon" Deion Sanders said Wood was washed up. At the Super Bowl, Deion was interviewing Wood and Wood was like, "didn't you say I was over the hill?"

I sense a parallel career path between Wood and Haden.

Sheilds not even a lockdown corner and Ted's paying him $10 M/yr. 4 M more for a lockdown corner with shutdown potential looks like a bargain to me. And forget about learning Capers' "complex" scheme this late in the season. Capers' D nowadays pretty much is man, man, and more man. Haden coulda signed Saturday night and he wouldn't miss a beat Sunday afternoon against the Falconers.

Trade deadline is approaching.
