Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was traded halfway through the season after the Packers decided the safety wasn’t going to be part of their long-term plans moving forward. The Redskins will likely take a chance at re-signing him, but if negotiations don’t work out he’ll hit the free agent market as a top target.

Pittsburgh would benefit all around with a player like Clinton-Dix. Alongside Sean Davis and Terrell Edmunds, Clinton-Dix would take on the starting role and be the primary coverage option deep. While Davis works the underneath and Edmunds fills in as needed, this trio could make a drastic change in the Steelers’ secondary.

Clinton-Dix is a gamechanger in Pittsburgh. This team needs to address other positions, but if they focus on them in the draft, they should do whatever possible to get Clinton-Dix to the Steel City.
