When the Chicago Bears let Adrian Amos go, there was a lot of discussion about whether it was the right move. When he signed with the Green Bay Packers and Haha Clinton-Dix replaced him, it became a fan talking point.
Now that the season is over we can go back and look at the first year without Amos, and see if the defense was affected by Clinton-Dix replacing him.
Keep in mind, Amos signed a four-year, $36 million deal while Clinton-Dix was on a 1-year, $2 million deal.

Before getting into the numbers and performances, it is worth noting that alignments change and can affect performance.
