Clark Being Retained Is a Low Risk vs. High Reward Type of Move for Jets
Ahead of free agency in 2023, the Jets traded with the Baltimore Ravens. New York sent a 2024 seventh-round draft choice in exchange for Clark.
Clark was expected to be a key piece on the backend of the defense.
Before coming to New York, Clark was in the middle of a historic iron man streak having played '1,248 consecutive snaps dating back to Week 16 of 2021.'
On top of his durability, Clark also brought with him versatility from his Ravens days. He has registered snaps at linebacker, free safety, strong safety, and even some nickel.
Clark, 28, spent the first six years of his career with the Ravens. During that period he registered five interceptions, 32 pass deflections, and over 384 total tackles.
