When the Green Bay Packers drafted safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in the first round in 2014, the team and their fans alike figured they’d have an anchor in their secondary for years to come. They thought they had found their replacement for Charles Woodson and even have Clinton-Dix number 21.
Five years later, with Clinton-Dix playing out his option year on his rookie contract, it seems the Packers and the former Alabama standout are headed for a divorce.
It’s not that Clinton-Dix didn’t show any ability in five years. He made the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team in 2014 and was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2016.
