Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign HaHa Clinton-Dix

[Hadenough]

Sounds like he will replace Heath. I actually havent watched much of him but its good to see the team covering itself so that during the draft they can draft the BPA instead of need.

 

[Fastpitch Dad]

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.

Good post.

As a Texan stuck living outside DC, I do know he was terrible as a Skin. I do know they are a train wreck so hopefully that year was an anomaly. Admittedly I didn't see him much with the Bears so I'm hoping for the best.

3 more to go. Clowney, Sanders, and Snacks.

Thats about 32+ mil in cap space with 19 left and draft picks to sign.
And if we do sign Dak, his 1st year cap hit will higher than the 30 mil hit we currently have with him

Restructures?
i’d be fine addressing WR3 another way

His skill set is more FS than SS.

He was horrible in DC after the midseason trade. Even in the game vs Dallas, he took some of the worst angles I've ever seen from an NFL S. By all accounts, he seemed to rebound with a solid season with Chicago in 2019. Let's hope that continues in 2020.

I think when we compare HaHa to Heath, we shouldn’t do that for the simplest of reasons - their skill sets are NOT the same. HaHa has always been a better FS than SS whereas Heath should’ve been exclusively the SS on his best days. Not to say either was great at what they do, but they are definitely different players.

 

[Teeroy]

Nice not bad at all

Meh, it says something when a guy has been on that many teams in such a short amount of time. Not a bad signing but nothing for me to get overly excited about, apparently name recognition matters with fans. This is a slight upgrade over a player most people despised (Heath). I do like the fact he’s younger though.

 

[Section446]

For the price, I'll take him, basically no risk.

 

[America's Cowboy]

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

That would be even better, but it's a risk to see if he would still be available.

 

[Carson]

Absolutely love this!!! Huge fan of Ha Ha.

Before complaining watch his film with the Bears last season. Kid can play and fills a huge need next to Woods.

Only huge needs now are CB and RDE. I still think Woods will be the 1tech

 

[ghst187]

I don’t think he’s very good...all I ever remember about watching him play is seeing him getting burnt....

 

[Rayman70]

at the price, its a huge heist! WOW....good for us. Dallas got an upgrade over Heath and saved money. The cap is basically unscathed. Not a dix fan but at the price I sure am.

 

[JW82]

Ok? Someone tell me how to feel about this.

a solid NFL starting quality safety. An upgrade over Heath who was a special teamer forced to start by a dumb coaching staff.

 

[Rayman70]

he is a bridge player, nothing more. A little insurance. We are still drafting a starting safety for the future. THIS gives time to develop for the young bucks we bring in. DOESN'T CHANGE HOW WE DRAFT.

 

[Carson]

Allows us to draft a CB at 17 and not reach for a safety

 

[chagus]

$4 million for Haha Clinton-Dix is a steal.

Gerald McCoy was a steal.

It sucks bad to lose Byron Jones and Quinn. But these two deals are great.

Add a CB at #17 and the coaching changes, and I think we've improved the defense. Hopefully add one more pass rusher via free agency.

^THIS^

Plus... the change in weed policy is why Quinn is GONE. Randy... Randy... RAANNDYY!!!

 

[Rayman70]

^^THIS ALSO. That's what makes this signing a smart one. OFFERS US FLEX....BUYS US TIME. MM is very familiar with him...knows how to push his buttons.

I think a long term with Dak would spread out the cap hit this year and it be smaller than it currently is.
