Jets out of options after Marcus Maye deadline passes
NY Post
Marcus Maye enjoyed the well-timed best season of his career in the final year of his contract.
Can he do it again? Maye and the Jets should find out soon after Thursday’s NFL-imposed 4 p.m. deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign extensions passed without a deal in place. Negotiations cannot resume until after the season. Maye’s first chance to reach free agency was delayed in March when the Jets applied the franchise tag, giving the two sides four more months to work out a long-term marriage. The 2017 second-round draft pick is coming off career highs for tackles (82), sacks (two), passes defended (11) and turnovers generated (five) but returning to a defense where edge-rusher Carl Lawson ($15 million per year) and inside linebacker C.J. Mosley ($17 million) are higher paid because of free-agent splurges.
