RELEASED Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Released

[JoeKing]

Darian Thompson musta done pretty good at Training Camp. Wish I coulda seen dat with my own eyes.

 

[Carson]

Including the Ced Wilson, that's 5 players from BSU.
Is that some sort of record?

I think Jimmy had 4 from East Carolina back in 90s, but 1 was at the end of the bench or PS rotation.

We have multiple teams with 3 this year, oddly. TCU, Oklahoma, Alabama,

Washington currently has 9 players on their roster from Alabama!

 

[blueblood70]

Because there are a lot of fans on here who don't know what they're talking about, but swear they're Bill Parcells.

HaHa - who some have been clamoring for since 2018 - is a perfect example. The guy hasn't been good for almost 5 years lmao.

yet all his numbers are better then ET, so ET also a bad choice?

 

[JoeKing]

Miss Jeff Heath yet?

Nope, but it's coming.

 

[erod]

Safety Roy Williams went to 5 pro bowls 2003 to 2007.

He was good for two years. After that, he was the worst starter on the team.

Lived solely off reputation as a big hitter.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Not quality safeties for the same price tag. That's why I don't see the need to eat crow. The team shopped at a certain level, they knew that level wasn't likely to be a home run, and the contract they offered reflected that. That said, obviously they were hoping for better than they got, so this is disappointing, and represents a miscalculation by the team, but this isn't remotely the same level as if they were cutting Poe or Griffen.

Oh, but there absolutely was.

Adrian Phillips and Karl Jospeh were both less expensive than HH. Vonn Bell and Vacarro signed for a measley $2M more AAV.

You value the Poe signing that much more highly because.... why? $500k more AAV, less guaranteed per season, and only $1.25M total guaranteed for a two year contract compared to HHCD one year contract.

 

[DCBoysfan]

The last time I saw him play was with Washington, and he was terrible.

 

[DFWJC]

Washington currently has 9 players on their roster from Alabama!

Will they all stick? whoa

I'm wondering what the Cowboys team record is.
Maybe Miami players in Jimmy's day. Not sure

 

[Carson]

He was good for two years. After that, he was the worstworst starter on the team.

He was solid next to Woodson and a year with Hamlin! The rest not so much

 

[cowboyec]

based on camp reports...not surprised.

i am surprised that he didn't play well...boy was i wrong about his coming here.
i liked the move at the time and thought he'd be a good player for us this season.
couldn't have been more wronger.

[Mr_437]

Wow. Surprised they cut HaHa, even though I'm not a fan. Safety position is absolutely horrible.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

STOP IT!

Earl is a league-wide pariah at this point. He just got rejected by the last possible team that could take him, Browns. There is obviously something going on with him that you are not taking into account. He's not able to be a good teammate anymore.

I need Earl for the next 17 weeks plus playoffs. I honestly don’t care how good a teammate he is or if no one invites him out for beers after the game. Or if they cut ties with him after the season and seek a permanent replacement. Even in a “down” year, his play on the field last year was better than any S we’ve had in the last decade. It’s the NFL, you don’t have to have a team of choirboys.

 

[cowboyec]

So many having to eat crow with this signing lol

Sad thing is there were so many quality safeties available

im eating mine with extra ketchup.

 

[HoplessCowboysFan36]

I don't find this as an excuse to have made us tolerate Heath on a second contract.

The Joneses are famous for addressing a known problem the offseason after it ruins a season.

So there always next year.

We must have missed that memo.. for a decade..

 

[Carson]

A few names that are available

Morgan Burnett ... has played for McCarthy

Clayton Geathers

 

[fivetwos]

Miss Jeff Heath yet?

No.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Maybe the team thinks you're not limited to just 4 comp picks? Lol.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

He was good for two years. After that, he was the worst starter on the team.

Lived solely off reputation as a big hitter.

I say good for the 5 pro bowl years plus his rookie season. 6 years total Fans expect all pro play or they suck.

 

[quickccc]

This was coming, when Darian freaking thompson beats you out you know its over.
This would be a great time to get ET but they are adamant about avoiding him at all costs.

Bingo.

- That's exactly was it was... with camp reports being so very limited, we're not getting the views and exacts of what's occurring in camp.
i didn't see any reports of Ha Ha struggling in camp.

- Dix had to be getting beaten like a drum in coverage, or not keeping is assignments that were leading into too many excessive blown coverages
... or both scenarios ?

- Bottom line is Clinton Dix had to be that underwhelming and underperforming in camp as to have a limited journeyman actually surpassing him in the
starting 1st team lineup.

- And at least this coaching regime did not try to sugar coat and down-play this Clinton Dix disappointment, but they are acting accordingly in making
him accountable and address by moving on without him.
