The New York Jets have re-signed safety Chuck Clark on a one-year deal, as confirmed by multiple sources. Clark, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn ACL sustained during OTAs, is seen as a valuable addition to the team's safety depth. The Jets' decision to bring back Clark, who turns 29 in April, is viewed as a move for stability in the safety position rather than seeking star power. The current safety depth chart for the Jets includes Adams and Bernard-Converse at free safety (FS), with Clark at strong safety (SS). The team also has UFAs Whitehead and Davis. There was speculation about re-signing Whitehead, but his contract voided last month, which would have implications for the cap.

The Jets don't need stars at safety, just stability - which makes Clark a good low cost fit Turns 29 in April, plenty of good football left for him https://t.co/wLuOSgx5Dx
