It was no secret Clinton-Dix was on the trading block prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Albert Breer of the MMQB all reported on his availability Sunday.
“It’s not that he’s fallen out of favor…he’s in a contract year, and the Packers have some depth in the secondary to play with,” Breer wrote.

The fifth-year player is making just under $6 million this season after the team picked up the option on his rookie deal, per Spotrac. However, he could earn a large contract once he hits free agency this offseason.
In the meantime, he will provide Washington with plenty of stability in the back of the defense. Clinton-Dix hasn’t missed a single game since being selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft. The Alabama product has started every game since 2015.
