When the New York Jets traded a seventh-round pick for Chuck Clark, most fans had two reactions.
The first was to laud the trade as another savvy move from Joe Douglas. The second was to assume that this spelled the end of Jordan Whitehead‘s time with the team.
While the first still holds true, the latter is in doubt. The Jets have shown no signs of moving on from Whitehead. In fact, they seem to be confident that he’ll improve in Year 2 in the system.
That has led some to speculate that Clark and Whitehead will be the Jets’ starting safeties in 2023.
