Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign HaHa Clinton-Dix

[ItzKelz]

Who’s laughing now?

get it?

 

[Typhus]

Clinton-Dix is younger than Heath. That’s odd because it feels like Clinton-Dix has been around forever.

Opposite for me, seemed like Heath was here for two decades,, over exaggeration I know, but still.

 

[Ranched]

That boy must have given his mom a good laugh then he was born. HAHA

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Just 2 years ago, his peers ranked him the #100 best player in the NFL.
3 years ago, he was ranked #77.

So what happened in the past two years?
He had a down year with the Commanders. Then by all accounts, he was good with the Bears last year.

Not saying he's still a top 100 player, but I don't think he's too far removed from being that player again. He's only 27.

If anything, his Commanders season is the one outlier in his career. And I mean, he was with the Commanders. Hard to hold that year against him.

We still need decent backups at *both* safety spots. I don't see one on the team. But at least we have a credible starter now.

We need more, but I think we've got the starters covered. And I don't see contracts to cry about.

Good job in free agency.

 

[Oneiros]

Why is he over the hill?

Yeah, I don't get that. He's 27. For reference he's a little over 3 years older than Kyle Dugger who some were wanting in this draft.

Although he wasn't my first choice at FA safety he's far from washed up as some have implied.

Given the price and the McCarthy connection it's a solid pick up and upgrade over Heath.

 

[Chrisdd]

Upgrade over Heath. Not gonna be a game changer but an upgrade is an upgrade

Yeah we'll see!

 

[starfan1]

S Xavier McKinney come on down... during the 17th pick!

Nah trade down get him in the mid to late 20’s

 

[Dre11]

Upgrade over Heath. Not gonna be a game changer but an upgrade is an upgrade

lol...I don't know of he is, the guy is scared to tackle and takes just as many bad angles.

 

[Dre11]

This might be the first amount of negativity I've heard ablut him here. I feel that most Zoners who speak his name think decently about his skill.

go watch his tape.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Good 1 year deal.

Now go get Jadaveon Clowney, now that it is evident he's not a $20 million a year man and knows the state of Texas. Go get Emmanuel Sanders on a 2 year deal, a Texas man.

If CJ Henderson is sitting there at 17 then we are set at corner. We draft Ashtyn Davis with our 2nd we are grooving and have a FS to start next year after Ha Ha's 1 year deal is done. Both of the players are burners with speed, are always around the ball and make plays on it. Our secondary is young, fast and talented.





3rd round we get another WR like Jalen Reagor and we have our return man and slot WR of the future. More speed and play making ability. All high character guys. Another guy who knows Texas.

Not hijacking this thread but Davis and Reagor May be each taken a round earlier. Will have to trade up for Davis and Reagor won’t fall outside 40

He’s not wrong.

Dix is actually on his fourth team in two seasons now.

Even we just signed him to a 1-year deal.

That speaks volumes.

 

[morasp]

He had two more interceptions than Heath did.

 

[MizzouCowboy4]

Solid sign. I'm excitied

 

[Dre11]

Are y’all seriously saying Heath and Clinton-Dix are the same? Look at their PFF scores career and last year. Haha is a 1st rounder and has been a pro bowler. He’s played at a high level throughout his career and though he’s not the consistent pro-bowler like he was in ‘16, he is still very much a plus defender and an upgrade at S.

We all want to upgrade from Heath, we sign one, then everyone says he’s not an upgrade. I’ve seen his name so many times on FA Safety to sign suggestions/threads lol

go watch his tape, that's all I can tell you, the guy hates contact, also takes bad angles like Heath, miss tackles, he may have a little more range.

4 teams in 2 years.

Get a grip.

We need bodies. He’s an experienced player.

 

[Dre11]

4 teams in 2 years.

Get a grip.

this we can agree on, I saw every game of his here in Washington, he was horrible, they had all kinds of jokes and memes here. they treated him worse than they treated Heath. the game that stuck out was the Dallas game. where Amari took their lunch.

 

[Runwildboys]

I'm proud of you guys! I skipped to page 8 to see if had turned into a Dak thread yet, but so far it's still on topic!

 

[Fontaine]

Love this signing!

 

[fivetwos]

The guy is horrible. 4 teams in 4 seasons. Can’t tackle , runs away from ball carriers.

Yet he is still an upgrade. Imagine that.
