Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is auditioning for the Texans. The veteran defensive back will join Houston on a tryout basis for their upcoming minicamp, reports Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com.
The 2014 first-round pick spent the first four-plus seasons of his career with the Packers, including a 2016 campaign where he earned a Pro Bowl nod and second-team All-Pro recognition after finishing with 80 tackles, five interceptions, and seven passes defended. He was traded to Washington midway through the 2018 campaign, and he started all 16 games for the Bears in 2019, finishing with 78 tackles and two interceptions.
Clinton-Dix signed a one-year, $3.75MM deal with the Cowboys last offseason, teaming him up with former coach Mike McCarthy. However, after earning more than $2MM in guaranteed money, the safety was released by the organization in early September. Clinton-Dix sat in free agency for the remainder of the season.
The Texans current grouping of safeties include Lonnie Johnson Jr., Justin Reid, Terrence Brooks, and Jonathan Owens. Clinton-Dix has the versatility to play both safety positions, so there’s a chance he makes the team as a backup.
The Washington Bears lol
Seems appropriate that a guy named “Ha Ha” would play for Houston at this point in time…
Still remember him going through the motions with the Packers vs Lions in the last game of 2017. Was noticeable on TV and embarrassing for any professional.
I actually think he is a solid player, could be used in a hybrid or safety role. I was honestly rooting for Pittsburgh to sign him as a reserve instead of keeping Marcus Allen
Come on Bears fans, don’t disappoint… Come and tell us all again how much better HHCD is than Amos.
