The Jets had a good plan for the safety position this offseason, moving swiftly to negotiate a trade with the Baltimore Ravens that would bring in a viable starter in Chuck Clark for the bargain price of one late-round pick. Clark could be paired with the incumbent Jordan Whitehead to give the Jets a safety tandem with youth, experience, athleticism and versatility.
Unfortunately for the Jets, Clark suffered a knee injury during organized team activities earlier this month and the Jets’ worst fears were confirmed as Clark was diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear.
