Since the trading deadline has passed, all players (including vested veterans) are subject to waivers for the rest of the season.

— Joel Corry (@corryjoel) October 30, 2018

Typically, #Redskins players have to ask Ken Houston permission to wear #27. He's been good about it. Gave permission to Fred Smoot and Larry Johnson. Otherwise, #38 is the only number available in the 20s or 30s for HaHa Clinton-Dix.

— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) October 31, 2018

True. He was on separate list than roster cuz he's Reserve/non-football injury. https://t.co/aGGC4dAcPh

A defensive line made up of young, drafted badasses....

A #1 CB who might be following #1 WRs...

The #1 and #2 rated safeties in the league
...#Redskins making defense fun again.

Checking in on #Packers twitter, and the outpouring of fans sad to see @haha_cd6 leave is testament to the kind of player and teammate he was.

Really feels like #Redskins are getting a quality person both on and off the field.

— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) October 31, 2018

The NFC East (minus the Giants) got more formidable, while the Packers' moves proved perplexing.

Hey Kim, I just did a huge film review of HaHa in case your readers are interested. https://t.co/IjlxztOhXS

Some early impressions based on very preliminary review of individual cut-ups on Clinton-Dix via @nflgamepass shows a guy with good speed, physical hitter, not afraid to get nose dirty on tackles, can rotate over in space to get involved in plays when he's not targeted. #Skins

— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) October 30, 2018

So far this year new #Redskins Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix has been targeted 11 times, allowed seven catches for 57 yards and two TDs, and has three interceptions and a pass defensed. In three games he didn't allow a catch. #HTTRhttps://t.co/UCftCrhbc1

— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) October 31, 2018

With the Cowboys getting WR Amari Cooper and the Eagles getting WR Golden Tate, #Redskins still might have the last laugh in Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (no pun intended). The move makes an already impressive defense even more equipped for any high flying offense.

Clinton-Dix on Swearinger on 10/3: "Swearinger is a guy that I love. I love his game. I’m a big fan of him. We’ve been conversing throughout the offseason, talking a lot, so we were very excited to play each other.I was excited and he was excited, too (about the INT)."

Everyone knows that Ha Ha Clinton-Dix played at #Alabama & the #Redskins have a deep affinity for @AlabamaFTBL defensive players. Kyle Smith runs college scouting dept. and has been much more involved in overall operations this year. He was head SE Region scout before promotion.

— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) October 30, 2018

The Ha Ha Clinton-Dix trade gives the #Redskins seven Alabama players in their locker room. (Not all on active roster) The players here who have been coached by Nick Saban have changed the culture on the team as I explained in this story last week

Washington now has 5 defensive players from Alabama:

Jonathan Allen
Ryan Anderson
Daron Payne
HaHa Clinton-Dix
Shaun Dion Hamilton

Also have Arie Kouandjio and Cam Sims on IR

In 14 combined games this season, Swearinger and Clinton-Dix have accumulated 7 interceptions, 10 passes defensed, 59 total tackles, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) October 30, 2018

DJ Swearinger and Haha Clinton Dix were probably the two best safeties in the NFC over the first 8 weeks of the season. They will now start side by side in the #Redskins' secondary.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 30, 2018

Nicholson is being asked to do far more than he was last year. Not just a post safety any more. Struggled initially, but has improved recently. Not long ago that Gruden called him as important as Jordan Reed https://t.co/EX5ra4yn00

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 30, 2018

I like Washington being aggressive while winning the division.

— Dan Kadar (@MockingTheDraft) October 30, 2018

Asked an NFC scout about Clinton-Dix:

His body has stiffened. He doesn’t have the athleticism he used to and he was never a great athlete. He’s gonna be highly motivated after the trade and being around the Bama guys will be good for him.

I was skeptical about Doug Williams in the role the #Redskins had him in. It felt like one of those symbolic trot a #Redskins legend out there for the applause. I was big time wrong on that one. #HTTR
