Ravens finalize Chuck Clark trade with Jets on Wednesday

The Ravens finalized their trade with the Jets that will send veteran safety Chuck Clark to New York for the 2023 season

The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of work to do on their roster as they look to improve their team ahead of the 2023 season. They haven’t made many moves yet, but there is still time to add at key positions to strengthen holes at needs across the board.

The Ravens finalized their trade agreement with the New York Jets on Wednesday, officially clearing the way for veteran safety Chuck Clark to play in the Big Apple next season. Baltimore’s official trade announcement says their compensation will be an undisclosed draft pick, but the reports were that the selection will be a 2024 7th-round pick.

Baltimore commemorated the move with a video released on social media that thanked Clark for his time with the Ravens, which is sure to pull at the heartstrings of many fans who are sad to see the veteran safety depart from the Charm City.

Clark was a sixth-round pick by the Ravens in the 2017 draft and served the team well in his six seasons with the team, starting in 63 games and racking up nearly 400 combined tackles. It is unclear who the team might sign to replace him, or if they will opt to give one of the safeties currently on the roster a shot to fill his role in 2023.

Lions trade CB Michael Jackson to Patriots

Despite reporting earlier in the day that they were releasing corner Michael Jackson, the Detroit Lions instead opted to trade him to New England Patriots for an undisclosed draft pick in 2022.

Despite reporting earlier in the day that they were releasing second-year cornerback Michael Jackson, the Detroit Lions have instead opted to trade him to New England Patriots for an undisclosed draft pick in 2022.

Jackson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with pick 158 in the 2019 NFL draft — 12 picks after the Lions selected Amani Oruwariuye — but he failed to make their roster and signed on to their practice squad.

In late October, the Lions signed Jackson off the Cowboys practice squad and added him to their 53-man roster. Jackson would be a healthy scratch for eight of the nine games he was on the Lions roster, only seeing the field in Week 12 for two special teams snaps.

At 6-1, 210 pounds, Jackson’s ability to play press-man coverage is a great fit for the Lions scheme and therefore he should translate to the Patriots scheme with ease.

An undisclosed pick for the Lions could mean a variety of things but these deals usually come with stipulations like whether or not Jackson makes the Patriots roster — so don’t hold your breath this trade actually nets the Lions much, if anything at all.
