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.
Once a Raven, Always a Raven.

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.
