ExtremeRavens Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The Jets decide to keep one of their own before the start of free agency. A source has confirmed that the Jets will re-sign safety Chuck Clark to a one-year deal. ESPN was the first to report the news of the Jets re-signing Clark. The Jets acquired Clark in a trade with the Ravens a year ago in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round pick. They had high expectations for Clark after he registered 101 tackles, four pass defenses, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery in 17 games in 2022. In five seasons in Baltimore, Clark recorded 384 tackles, 3.5 sacks, five interceptions, five forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries However, Clark tore his ACL during the final week of practice during organized team activities and missed the entire 2023 season. Retaining Clark is a low-risk, possible high-risk reward, considering the lack of depth in the Jets’ safety room. The only safety currently on the Jets roster is Tony Adams, who finished last year with 82 tackles and three interceptions in 15 games. Jordan Whitehead and Ashtyn Davis are both free agents. Last season, the Jets defense finished third in yards (292.3) allowed per game and 12th in points allowed (20.9). But, the Jets finished 7-10 after their offense was 31st in yards (268.6) and 29th in points (15.8) per game. ©2024 New York Daily News. Visit nydailynews.com.
