Redskins trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

I think we should all take this time to sit and reflect on just how badly the Cowboys got fleeced on their trade. Seeing all these deals being made with top notch players for 3rd and 4th rounders. It warms my heart.

lol I wanted to do backflip when I saw what they did. I still lol about it every time I think about it.

Wow. Totally psyched.

We are 5 and 2. 5 and freakin' 2!!

And we just schooled Green Bay in a trade?!?

Whoever said Halloween Twilight Zone shit is dead on the money.


Let's go Skins! And F*** the Cowboys!

I am still pinching myself. With Dix and DJS, we will have a lot of flexibility. If the DB's get on the same page quickly, this just became a bigly good D.

Woooooooowww!!!!

I can't wait for Cooper to see that he's gone from an overrated QB to a REALLY overrated QB.

Back to this move, it's hard not to like it. I was hoping Monte could really live up to the pre-season praise he got from Jay and others, but he hasn't yet. Not saying her won't, but this is an upgrade. And it seems a good deal.

As far as next year goes, this may be a short term rental -- per ESPN:

Clinton-Dix, 25, has been a starter since his rookie season in 2014, but he becomes an unrestricted free agent after this season. He was a first-round draft pick and made the Pro Bowl in 2016.... If [he] signs a big free agent contract this offseason, the Redskins will get a compensatory pick in 2020.

Who gets axed for this I wonder?

Not sure if his 5th year option is transferrable to the new team (us) but if it is, he'll only cost ~$6M against the CAP next season. Tremendous value and Kudos to the #Redskins for pulling this off

I thought this was his 5th year?

I guess it strengthens our backend for the Atlanta game. Lots of Safety help everywhere.

I was expecting them to give up a 3rd at the least. A 4th is outstanding. The only thing I wonder is he's a UFA after this year, can we afford him and then re-sign Swearinger the year after? Guess we'll cross that bridge when we have to.

This is my concern. Assuming we plan to resign Clinton-Dix, I wonder if it means we will be ready to move on from Norman. Dunbar is on extremely team-friendly contract and all other CBs are on rookie deals so I think we can afford to resign both Dix and DJ when it comes to that.

I'm definitely surprised by this move but I like it.

Very well could be short term rental situation, but ... it gives us options at the very least. And a compensatory pick should he sign elsewhere, which may be fine with us ... hoping Monte continues to improve, growing into that spot.

Can't be anything but pumped about this.

We're acting like a real, honest to goodness, pro football franchise. Feels weird, but good!

It sure counters the WRs that just came into our division (Cooper and Tate).
