Trivia time: which two Green Bay Packers’ players were on the field for the most plays in 2016? The winner is Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, with 1,148 — 1,028 defensive and 120 special teams snaps. He should be an essential part of the Packers’ defense for many years. In second place with 1,047, was Micah Hyde — 817 defensive and 230 special teams snaps. He’s gone.
Of all of the considerable moves the Packers have made during their unusually busy offseason, not re-signing such an important cog in the defense has been a real head-scratcher for me.
