The Jets reportedly worked out a trade Thursday, but not the one the football world has been anticipating.
Early Thursday morning, ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported New York was optimistic about its chances of acquiring Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. A few hours later, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported a different deal involving Gang Green.
The Jets are set to acquire veteran safety Chuck Clark from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for late-round draft pick compensation, per Rapoport. The trade is expected to be finalized next Wednesday when the NFL opens its new league year.
