Heading into the offseason thin at the safety position, the Jets made a move on Sunday to hold on to one of their own.
As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets are re-signing Chuck Clark to a one-year deal.
The Jets had high hopes for Clark when they traded a seventh-round pick to Baltimore to acquire him last offseason. But Clark tore his ACL during training camp and missed the entire season.
The 28-year-old played six seasons in Baltimore before being traded. Making 63 starts with the Ravens, Clark recorded five interceptions, five forced fumbles and 32 pass break-ups.
Bringing Clark back gives the Jets two legitimate starting safety options, with Tony Adams still on the roster as well. Jordan Whitehead and Ashtyn Davis, who both saw a good amount of playing time in 2023, are set to hit free agency.
