Same. Saw Schefty's first tweet and was ready to celebrate. Very good move though, 7th round pick in 2024 for a solid S? Can't be too upset about the deal.
Good point by Nania. This could spell the end for Whitehead's Jets tenure as I believe he and Clark offer a very similar skill set.
Starting safety on one of the better defenses in the league and we got him for a bag of balls. What’s the catch here? I know the ravens are set at safety for the foreseeable future but feels like they could have gotten more for a starter on 90% of the teams across the league.
I saw a Jets trade alert come across my phone and I was thinking we finally got Rodgers!!!!..............sigh.
prob a cap casualty since they drafted Kyle Hamilton and paid for Marcus Williams. I wonder if this means Whitehead gets cut and they go sign Bates. Think they net $3 or $4m by cutting Whitehead and adding Clark?
Yeah, Jets would save 7.25M if they cut Whitehead, so would save 3M-ish with the addition of Clark who carries a 4.1M cap hit this season.
A 2024 7th for an effective, versatile starting safety from a great team at a reasonable cap hit? I guess that sounds ok
I get the sense that this doesn't mean Whitehead is definitely gone. Seems like Clark is versatile enough to play beside Whitehead, so we'll just have to see how this one plays out. Either way, love this trade. Improve the position you're arguably the weakest at for a '24 7th rounder? Well done JD.
