The New York Jets made a trade Thursday, but the deal did not involve star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Ravens sent defensive back Chuck Clark to New York in exchange for late-round compensation in next month's NFL Draft, sources told ESPN. Chuck, 27, was an important part of Baltimore's secondary last season and played in all 17 regular season games.

The trade comes as Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly met with Rodgers in California after the Packers permitted the team to speak with the signal-caller.

After the meeting, Jets brass felt excited and satisfied about the prospects of a Rodgers trade, sources told ESPN’s Dianna Russini. 

The Packers and the Jets would still have to work out several details before a trade could actually happen, including compensation and how Rodgers' massive contract would fit under the salary cap.
