The trade deadline is quickly approaching, and impending moves are dominating the news. The Cowboys have traded for Amari Cooper while the Jaguars have picked up Carlos Hyde. There is a cornucopia of other players potentially available considering that DeSean Jackson is requesting a trade, and the Raiders are rumored to be in the mix to trade a good chunk of the roster. Although Jon Gruden still maintains that Derek Carr is with the franchise for the long run.

Albert Breer of MMQB listed multiple other options that could be moved in the coming days in an article posted Saturday evening. Some, such as Tyrod Taylor and Demaryius Thomas, were expected while others were more surprising. For example, he listed Jaguars backup Cody Kessler as a player that could be on the move. Additionally, he also named Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix as another potential move.

At first, his inclusion of Clinton-Dix seems a little peculiar considering how productive the safety has been in his career. Originally drafted with the 21st overall pick in 2014, Clinton-Dix has been a key contributor since his rookie season. The former Alabama standout has played in every game of his career, tallying 374 combined tackles and 14 interceptions. He was especially productive during the 2014 NFC Championship loss to the Seattle Seahawks, tallying five combined tackles and intercepting Russell Wilson twice. One of these picks nearly sealed the victory for Green Bay, but the offense couldn't quite run out the clock.

His production continued through 2015 and 2016 as he posted a combined 180 tackles and seven interceptions. He even earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2016. However, Clinton-Dix had a quiet year in 2017 due to different coaching styles. Last year, he generally was stationed 20 yards from the line of scrimmage as former defensive coordinator Dom Capers used Clinton-Dix to prevent big plays rather than make big plays. Under new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Clinton-Dix has been an entirely different player. While he didn’t practice during OTAs, he said he watched every practice on his iPad and felt he was where he needs to be mentally. He made his return during minicamp and took part in all the practices in training camp.

Clinton-Dix has been playing exceptionally well for the Packers in 2018, recording three interceptions during the first three games and tallying 23 combined tackles, one sack, and three passes defensed. However, Breer wrote in his report that the safety hasn't fallen out of favor. Green Bay just has depth in the secondary, and Clinton-Dix is in a contract year

The trade deadline is October 30th, so the time to move the talented safety is quickly diminishing. For now, Clinton-Dix will suit up against the Los Angeles Rams as Green Bay looks to disrupt a potential 8-0 start by Sean McVay's team.
