Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Signs With Raiders Practice Squad
Free-agent defensive back Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad on Monday, according to his agent. Clinton-Dix landed back on the free-agent market when he was cut by the San Francisco 49ers earlier this month. The 28-year-old former first-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2014 did not play at all in 2020 after he wasn't able to make the Dallas Cowboys final roster. In his last full season in 2019, the one-time Pro Bowler (2016) had 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and two fumble recoveries in 16 starts for the Chicago Bears. Clinton-Dix will provide valuable secondary depth for the Raiders to begin the 2021 season.
Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is returning to the open market after not agreeing to join the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. Clinton-Dix has served primarily as a starter throughout his six-year NFL career, most of which has come as a member of the Packers. The move to become a free agent seems shrewd, as he started all 16 games for the Bears as recently as 2019, logging 78 tackles to go along with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. With an increased game schedule across the league this season, it appears likely that more players will be needed than ever, and Clinton-Dix boasts an impressive resume for any team in search of secondary help once the '21 year gets underway.
Former first-round safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix signed an undisclosed deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday, according to his agents. Clinton-Dix never saw action in a regular season game with the Dallas Cowboys last year, and he last played in 16 games with the Chicago Bears in 2019. In those 16 contests, the one-time Pro Bowler had 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and five passes defensed. The 28-year-old defensive back will give San Francisco some valuable veteran depth with Tarvarius Moore (Achilles) done for the season and Jaquiski Tartt (toe) and Tony Jefferson (hamstring) currently dealing with injuries in training camp.
Former Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix visited with the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, according to a source. The Raiders continue to search for secondary help prior to free agency officially kicking off next Wednesday. Clinton-Dix last played for the Bears in 2019. The 28-year-old from Alabama has started 90 games in his NFL career and has 16 interceptions. He signed a deal with Dallas in free agency last offseason but was released before Week 1. Clinton-Dix has performed at his best as a free safety because his tackling is a weak spot in his game. He's still on the right side of 30 and could provide the Raiders with a short-term solution in the secondary, but Las Vegas can certainly do better through the draft.
Dallas Releases Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Creates Safety Opening
Dallas Cowboys safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was released Thursday, with the team saving payroll by not having him on its Week 1 roster. The move comes with curious timing as the Cowboys and veteran safety Earl Thomas have been linked to one another for years, with Thomas remaining a free agent with just over a week until the start of the 2020 season. Clinton-Dix, who has started all 16 regular-season games each of the past five seasons, is likely to land on his feet, although hell have a tough path to a starting gig elsewhere after being released so close to the start of the year. By releasing Clinton-Dix, Dallas all but confirms that Xavier Woods should be back and ready to play by Week 1 against the Rams. The Cowboys defense is still a reasonable season-long fantasy asset in the wake of the move.
The Dallas Cowboys signed safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to an undisclosed deal on Thursday night. Clinton-Dix should be a starter for the Cowboys after they lost both Byron Jones and Jeff Heath in free agency. The 27-year-old former first-round pick of the Packers in 2014 had 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions (one for a TD), five passes defensed and two fumble recoveries over a full season last year in his lone year with the Bears. Clinton-Dix has 16 career interceptions in his five-year career.
The Chicago Bears are signing free-agent safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million on Thursday, sources informed of the situation told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Clinton-Dix was traded from the Packers to the Redskins last season. He hasn't been very consistent after he was Green Bay's first-round pick in 2014, but he'll give Chicago depth in the secondary and is still just 26 years old.
The Washington Redskins acquired safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix from the Packers on Tuesday, according to a source. Clinton-Dix is in the final year of his deal and the Packers had no interest in extending him long term. The 25-year-old safety has been having a good year, recording 27 tackles with a sack, forced fumble and three interceptions. His loss will surely be felt in Green Bay's secondary, while Washington's underrated defense will be even stronger for the second half.
The Green Bay Packers have made safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix available on the trade market before the Oct. 30 deadline. The former first-rounder has been playing well, but he's in the final year of his rookie deal and the Packers aren't expected to sign him to an extension. The 25-year-old has racked up 27 tackles, one sacks and a forced fumble in seven games, so he has been a key contributor in the team's secondary, giving him plenty of value to other teams in need of secondary help like the Jets and Chiefs.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Doesn't Expect To Return In 2019
Green Bay Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix doesn't expect to be back with the team in 2019. Right now, Im playing each and every game like its my last. I dont think Im going to be here next year, Clinton-Dix said Monday, one day after the Packers fell to 2-2-1 with a loss at Detroit. He's playing on a fifth-year option after being the team's first-round pick in 2014. Clinton-Dix didn't take part in voluntary organized team activities this spring because he didn't get a long-term extension. He enters Week 6 tied for the league lead in interceptions (three) and is tied for second on the team with 31 tackles. Clinton-Dix also has a sack and four pass breakups.
