4. Haha Clinton-Dix

When Haha Clinton-Dix signed with the Bears there were plenty of debates. The argument was that Clinton-Dix made more plays than Adrian Amos, but also gave up more plays. Was it worth it to have the play maker, or the player who is always in the right spot? This is still a worthy debate, but the Clinton-Dix vs. Amos debate may be put to bed soon.

The fact of the matter is that on the field value aside, when you look at salary, Clinton-Dix has been a steal this season for what he is making. Clinton-Dix has a cap hit of just about $3 million. So far this season he has 21 tackles, two pass break ups, a fumble recovery and two interceptions, one that he took to the house.

He saved his first career pick six for the Chicago Bears. Clinton-Dix has been all over the stat sheet in every form. He has lived up to his money and then some at this point and has been more of a bang for his buck than Amos. So far, it has been a pleasant surprise seeing Clinton-Dix perform through four games.
