Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is headed to Dallas. Early this morning, the safety’s agency announced that he has agreed to join the Cowboys. 
Clinton-Dix will receive a one-year, $4MM deal with $2.5MM guaranteed, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (on Twitter). The pact will reunite him with Mike McCarthy, his longtime coach in Green Bay.
Clinton-Dix, 27, started in every game for the Bears last year and finished out with 78 tackles and two interceptions. He wasn’t a top-tier defender like predecessor Adrian Amos, but he proved to be a solid value on his one-year, $3MM deal.
His Cowboys deal is similarly inexpensive and may also prove to be something of a bargain. Even if he doesn’t regain his Pro Bowl (2016) form, he’ll likely outperform Jeff Heath. Also, by taking a safety spot off the to-do list, the Cowboys will be able to focus on other areas in the third wave of free agency and the April draft.
Not a bad deal at all
Like it.
Nice! Wish it was for 2-3 years, but better value than the $4.5 million I predicted to land him.
I agree…2 years, at least.
Didn’t Heath sign with someone else the other day?
Yes. He is going to Vegas. Same with Witten & Maliek Collins.
They shouldn’t let the door hit them on the way out…..
I presume you’re not crazy enough to lump Witten into that comment…
Was a reluctant tackler on the Redskins. Not much of a team player (fourth team in three years). If Dixon has got back his ballhawking skills, he’ll be of some value.
had a nice year in Chicago, wish they would have kept him
They definitely still need to make safety a priority in the draft.
Great pick up younger than Heath! Maybe if he performs he’ll sign 2-3 year deal. Now they can draft a safety in Corner and develop them.
No. Based on past performance, if Dixon is has a good year, he will be off to the next highest bidder.
He’ll fit right in with the Cowboys soft defense. I guess paying Dak and Cooper has to be made up somewhere.
Don’t you have a 4 win team to root for? 4-12, man that’s gotta sting.
Good thing the NYG won 2 of their last 3. Sets them up nicely for the draft.
Good signing and something that was needed to help that defence after Jones left.
Go watch Clinton-Dix’s effort a couple of seasons ago in the Packers’ final game against the Lions. He visibly gave up on plays; that’s what you’re getting. No idea why McCarthy would want Clinton-Dix on the team other than familiarity with what he can and can’t offer.
He didn’t just give up when he was with the Pack either. He’s a mediocre player with a much higher skill set everywhere he goes…because he doesn’t play hard. I agree that it’s odd McCarthy would want him back having experienced that first hand.
Value play!
What psycho names their child Ha Ha? Reminds me of the Johnny Cash song “A boy named Sue.”
There’s no such thing as bad publicity? Or maybe it’s the Cheers song
“Where everybody knows your name”.
His parents didn’t name him HaHa. His name is Hasean.
Love this deal.
