 One of the most painful feelings that somebody couldn't experience in their life is the feeling of being replaced Say for instance you working at a job you've been at that job for a while good amount of time But that same job that you've been working at for a while They hire several other people at your same position But they pay them a lot more money than you And then eventually you are shown the door Think about in a relationship if you're with somebody for a good amount of time Y'all y'all in this relationship together, but then all of a sudden the person like you know what? It's just not working out I don't think we should be together anymore So y'all break up and then you're thinking oh man. I don't know what I'm gonna do I don't know what they're gonna do, but then all of a sudden you see them with somebody else like that You were replaced And that's painful that hurts so initially Initially when I saw Chuck Clark's comments from his presser today, and it was just a quick little sound but I was thinking man Chuck what like what really That's how you felt about the rave, but then I thought wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. No, no This sounds like there's some pain behind those words It sound like it may have even been a little bit personal with Chuck Clark and the Baltimore Ravens because It just obviously they didn't end on great terms And this is something that dates back to last year because we remember when um when the ravens They they did draft Kyle Hamilton To to be their safety the future and most of their strong safety or not their box safety or whatever, but Before that before Kyle Hamilton was even a thing They signed Marcus Williams So I wonder if that was actually the beginning of the end for Chuck Clark But I wonder if when he saw them sign Marcus Williams, I wonder if he was like, uh Okay, okay. Wow. He got paid all of that. Oh, okay And Chuck, we know he's not a free safety even though like nowadays in 2023 the whole free safety strong safety thing He can't necessarily throw it out the window, but it's not what it used to be but um With Chuck Clark, that's not his position, but at the same time he could feel a certain way Seeing the ravens pay all that money to somebody else yet again because remember a couple years back They had signed another outside safety To a boatload of money And they brought him in and he ended up being alongside Chuck Now Chuck Clark wasn't the starter yet back then but some things happened and then It ended up being Chuck Clark and Earl Thomas, but we know how that relationship ended and soured pretty quick There were some punches thrown. Um, but Chuck Clark could have seen that With Marcus Williams and been like, uh, yeah, yeah, I don't like that. What about me? And then on top of that a cut about a month and a half later After signing Marcus Williams, they drafted safety in the first round of the draft too. They picked number 14 That had to push them over the top man That really had to be like they say to the straw that that broke the camel's back Because that was Chuck Clark Not initially not right away, but he knew like oh This is me being replaced I'ma I'm about to be out of here So then last year we heard all these rumors about oh Chuck Clark requested to be traded Chuck Clark started tweeting all this stuff I think he's just tweeting like jcoe lyrics or something, but you know how them football players do See a lot of football players they try to play it safe To where they'll tweet certain lyrics from a song and they know what fans be doing They know that it applies to them and I feel they know what applies to football But then when they question about it when they asked about it, they could be like, oh, no, no, no, no It was just it was just a song I was tweeting I was just tweeting out the lyrics from a song It's like Yeah, okay You were, huh? Well, yeah, I bet but anyway Chuck Clark with the cryptic tweets and whatnot, but he had requested a trade last year that's been confirmed Multiple times this year and even last year was too But he requested to be out of there from the Baltimore Ravens He requested to be gone now obviously That request it didn't happen. Now. I did read something earlier this off season That said with that trade request the Ravens tried Apparently the Ravens tried to trade them, but they were no suitors Because they tried to trade them, but they couldn't that's what I read earlier. It's this off season And when I read that I was like, oh wow But then the Ravens what they did they reworked his contract They redid his contract and gave him this like this way they gave him some incentives So when you give somebody some incentives, it's like, okay, let's let's sort of ease attention With some money Hey, that's what they did. It's business, baby. I get it. I ain't mad at it But of course this off season Chuck Clark was traded To the new york jets for like what is it a 2024 25 conditional six or seventh round pick I don't even remember what the draft compensation was the trade compensation was because it was something that was just so Low That Does it even matter? It was more so one of them trades where it's like, all right Thanks for everything, but you're going bye. We appreciate you, but you're out of here But y'all clock today, let's just listen to that clip from The presser here we go Okay, you know when the year is over, you know, we knew what was going to happen. So I was ready to get out of there why Just the situation that I was put in and uh I did the things that were said to me and the position the position that I felt that I was on the team I wasn't being respected at the time. So it was time for a new change Powerful words right there from Chuck Clark and again, that's not the entire interview. That's just a clip that's been floating around um, but What he said he said he felt like he was disrespected for the situation that he was put in Based off of the things that he was told now, I wonder just from what Chuck Clark said on that part alone I wonder if the Ravens may have given him some reassurance like Chuck your guy Chuck we want you to be here. Chuck. We want you to remain a part of the Baltimore Ravens Chuck you're a leader for us. Chuck. You've been a positive reinforcement force for these last couple years Chuck when you got the opportunity to step in Into the starting lineup you you took it and you never looked back and we loved that and we respected so much Chuck Clark We appreciate you so much here with the Baltimore Ravens. You have been just amazing in this organization. Thank you for everything But I wonder if they told him that And then they turn around and draft Kyle Hamilton They could be like man, that's a slap in the face and then again. These are just my thoughts I don't know what he's referring to that he was told But that's just what I think is a possibility Or maybe they they were like Chuck you're the guy, but then They draft the first round pick and you if you draft the first round pick Then you expect them to end up being the guy maybe not right away but eventually so I can see why they could be a little bit of a animosity there with Chuck Clark towards The Baltimore Ravens, but he said he was ready to get out of there He was ready to clear it man. He said he was ready to be gone. Get me out of here I don't want to be on his team no more But Chuck said he was ready to be out Um, and hey look man. I can't blame him I can't blame him Um, I know a lot of Ravens fans gonna be like, oh man, he's this he's that because I feel like with a lot of Ravens fans with Chuck when it comes to Chuck Clark people either love him or hate him I feel like there's this really no in between Chuck Clark was a he was a solid player. He was a solid player Solid guy usually always healthy and whatnot was the leader and one thing about Chuck Clark. I look now He wanted to be traded. He wanted to get on up out of the Ravens from last year But he showed up to every single game He didn't hold out. He didn't make no public fuss about nothing He was there at like all the OTAs and all that stuff from from early on in the off season last year He was there for everything Everything So I think that that that speaks highly to his character I know that this is a lot of people like oh What kind of characters that guy have now talking about the ravers like hey, it happens Just because a lot of people that work that one company They may have enjoyed that time with that one company and they may have felt like he was a great company Not everybody may feel like feel that way and that's okay That is okay Chuck Clark to say what he said okay He wanted to get out. All right. Cool. Let him go. Well, they did let him go but um He said he was ready Like but like put yourself in Chuck Clark shoes put yourself in his shoes Again, if you saw somebody at the same position that you were in Your company that you've been with for years And you've been putting in work for years You saw them bringing somebody else and paid them a bowl of the money then you saw them bringing somebody else You saw them bringing a veteran somebody that's been in the game for a little bit They got paid a lot of money, but then you saw them bringing an intern And they paid that intern a lot of money too and that interned obviously going to be a full-time employee soon He like what? So two people to replace it. Wow See, you know what get me out of here A lot of y'all want to leave too And I would understand why Again that feeling of being replaced it hurts It hurts So I'm sure there's a lot of emotion tied behind this Um, but with the Ravens with their uh, the moves that they made at safety Um, I think that it's just really Because they wanted playmakers, man That's all I think it is really They wanted playmakers Chuck Clark He only had a couple years left on his deal when they signed Marcus William I think he had Two years left on his deal I believe um And Marcus Williams He will bring in somebody that could be a playmaker for them at safety And then they were like, you know what we doubling down Kyle Hamilton Because they they needed more plays to be made Not only just in the secondary but on defense And both of those guys they did they made some plays They really did So With Marcus Williams, he's a veteran He definitely did this thing for the Ravens last year. Oh my goodness. That signing was great great And it would have it would have been 50 million times better if he wouldn't have got hurt in Mr. Chunk of time Like he missed a chunk of time and but he he was a ball of him that dude can play some football And then Kyle Hamilton Another playmate. He made some plays too May plays the force fumble it sticks The sacks that was a pass rushing to like he was doing it all But again, I think this is just It's just hurt. It's just a bit of hurt from Chuck Clark. It's honestly brutal honesty, too But I think that honesty comes from just him being hurt by the Ravens, man I just think he felt like he was just done nasty and um He also said uh that the then this is from uh, rich cementy who covers the new york jets I says Clark says the drafting of Kyle Hamilton in the first round and So not just them drafting Kyle Hamilton, but this as well and contract and money matters contributed to him feeling disrespected Looks forward to a fresh start with the jets who will start him alongside Jordan Whitehead So with that being said, I think some of what we thought or think could be the case I really think it could be the case where Because if it's about contracting if it's about Hamilton and contracting money That that sound to me that sounds like a mix of Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton Sound like both It's like man. Okay, y'all drafted him in the first one. Oh, oh y'all paid him all that. What about me? I've been here I've been here But again, I think they just wanted more playmakers, man They wanted more playmaking ability like with Chuck Clark again solid player solid guy He's always right there always right there around the bowl But there'll be times where sometimes he would make a play sometimes he wouldn't it just it could be uh It was tough man. It's tough, but He's gonna be solid for the Jets, man. He's gonna be solid for the Jets and it's It's gonna be nice to see him in that defense too. See how he does Because the Jets the defense was already already good last year And now they they will have had another year to sort of jail some more and now you add Chuck Clark to that You get cj mosey and whatnot. Obviously sauce garden um I don't know about Williams, but so we see if he show up, but Yeah, man. This uh, they they they gonna be good over there in new york So it should be fun. Oh, I wonder if the Ravens gonna end up running into them down the line Hey, maybe we'll see The only time they'll be able to play each other would be if they both met in the playoffs. So But yeah, anyway, shout out to Chuck Clark, man. It's okay to be honest It's okay to let people know how you feel I know a lot of Ravens fans are gonna take this as him disrespecting the Ravens and I I don't think it's that Again, he just said he's ready to get out of there He's ready to go So and I mean when you think about what the position like he said the position that he was in A lot of people be ready to go to so I can't blame him. So but it's okay Ravens are in a good position as safety right now Um, and apparently they're still interested in adding more. So we'll see um and Chuck Clark He's in a good position right now. Uh, what a what a team that's up and coming the new york Jets They they on the way. So both parties, uh It should be good for both parties both good for both sides. But anyway, thank you for cleaning. I appreciate y'all I love y'all and like a lot of Ravens fans are glad Chuck Clarky is especially after these comments We out. I love y'all
