Yes he was.
Just to give a little history of HaHa Clniton Dix in Green Bay, because he was a huge disappointment to GB and became a bad influence in the locker room. This came from the DairyLand Express Sport article before Green Bay traded him to us:

"Clinton-Dix, who recently said he doesn’t think he’ll be back in Green Bay next season, has been in a downward spiral over the past two seasons. He consistently plays out of control, doesn’t want to tackle anybody and is often out of position in pass coverage which leads to wide open players in the end zone..... That type of individual mindset is absolutely horrible for the locker room and something the Packers tried to get rid of when they traded Damarius Randall in the offseason. With free agency obviously on the forefront of Clinton-Dix’ mind, the Packers should make the move first and trade him.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done and the Packers’ front office would have to work hard to find a suitable trade partner. For one, they are likely to get a fourth round compensation pick if he walks via free agency so that’s the lowest bar they should set."

Well we got him for a fourth.
He has a history of bad play and being bad locker room guy. Why do we want to pay a guy like that?
