Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Joins Cowboys, Reunites With Mike McCarthy
FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, adding a familiar name for new coach Mike McCarthy.
Clinton-Dix's representatives, SportsTrust Advisors, announced the move early Friday on Twitter. The 27-year-old's addition comes at a position the Cowboys have largely ignored in free agency and the draft in recent years.
The one-year deal is worth $4 million, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
McCarthy was the coach in Green Bay when the Packers drafted Clinton-Dix 21st overall in 2014. He had 14 of his 16 career interceptions with Green Bay, including a career-high five in 2016. The Packers traded him to Washington during the 2018 season, and Clinton-Dix spent last year in Chicago.
The addition of Clinton-Dix comes after three-year starter Jeff Heath agreed to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. Clinton-Dix could start alongside Xavier Woods, although the Cowboys could target another safety in the middle of the first round of the draft.
