AFJF Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Jets say they're working toward an extension with Maye after brining in six guys with experience at safety: Lamarcus Joyner Jamien Sherwood Hamsah Nasirildeen Michael Carter Jordyn Peters Brendon White and you could also make a case for UDFA Isaiah Dunn who is listed as a CB but who some feel should transition to safety in the NFL. I mean, I know some of these guys are expected to transition to LB and some won't make the roster, but that's too big a number to ignore IMO. Bringing in six (potentially seven) guys who can play safety while Maye is in the final year of his deal sure looks like they'd like to find his replacement at 20% of the price Maye will cost.

Popular Post Joe W. Namath Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 I just cant imagine a safety is a position Joe D wants to spend money on right now. Ill say Joe D will make him a fair offer and maye will decline because he knows he would get much more on the open market. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nixhead Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 The Jets need to show the new players that they will take care of their own and pay for good play. So as much as they don't want to pay Maye he has been a good player thru bad times so don't overpay for sure but offer him a reasonable contract and try to keep him. 15 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, but at some point you have to start keeping your best players. We can get him at 3/$36 with $26m guaranteed. Team option for 3rd year.

varjet Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Maye is the free safety, Hamsah is the strong safety, and Ashtyn is the wasted draft pick. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerfish Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 The problem is the player always feels they are way better than they are and want to cash in big time when they have the chance. The definition of a 'fair contract' varies wildly. I'd like to put it off as long as possible so the new coaching staff can decide if they REALLY want him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KRL Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 If Maye is looking for a 5 year deal (at 28), I believe Douglas will use the franchise tag to his advantage and tag him this year and next. If Maye is agreeable to a 3 year deal I think something gets done, I don't see Douglas wanting to pay a 32 year old safety 10+ million a year 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SackExchangeNYJ Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The tag was perfect. It kept him here. But at the end of it, he'll be nearly 30 and wanting a big deal. He could be a candidate for a mid-season trade if he's not extended to a team-friendly deal. Or he walks after this year and the Jets get the compensatory pick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Defense Wins Championships Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 I never wanted him. I disliked the pick the moment we passed on my FSU Dalvin Cook #4! Only to watch Cook go right after us to Minnesota. I was just so sick of watching us neglect RB year after year during the draft. With that said. Now that JD attacked RB with Michael Carter? Maye although pushing 30 is a keeper. Not an All-Pro. I've talked bad about him but he's a keeper. Because Quinnen Williams. Lawson. CJ Mosley and Marcus Maye are 4 key players who will run through brick walls for coach Saleh. Really good start. I hated the ways Gregg Williams used Marcus Maye. Instead of making him play physical. Let him actually roam centerfield as a ball hawk. Never thought I'd say this. But give Maye a pass rush and he could become special. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 7 minutes ago, Facts said: You know what they say... Safeties win Championships! Well. To be fair. Adams was so good to the point of multiple All Pros Pro Bowls and 1st round picks. JD used our Adams picks (1st and 3rd) in order to protect Zach Wilson and open up holes alongside Becton for Michael Carter; by trading up for Vera-Tucker. And JD could also have a lottery pick with Seattle's 1st round pick for Jamal Adams come 2022 because Seattle had an absolutely horrible off-season. I never wanted to trade Jamal to Dallas for #17. I always said we could get multiple 1st round picks for the kid. That we did. JD is the man. Unloaded Sam and Jamal for picks picks picks and more picks. Could be so much fun 2021 A.) Rooting for Jets WINS and B.) Rooting for Carolina and Seattle LOSES. Say what you say about Jamal but he was on everyone's top 30 list. His on field play profited us an exciting future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jet25 Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 JD will do what is best for the team and not pay to keep a player just because he has been here for a few years. If Maye walks after this season it won't hurt us, he's not a wow player anyway. JD didn't draft him and we all know what that means. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard13 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 That money is going elsewhere besides Maye. Writings on the wall. 1 - You dont draft a multitude of DB’s and safeties over the span of 2 drafts. 2 - JD signed yet another safety in Joyner to give all these rookies time to come up to speed. 3- JD just last year traded away and refused to pay top dollar for an ‘all pro’ safety in Adams. It’s obvious JD looks at the safety position as secondary and isn’t going to splurge on a big contract there. Maye is a good player but he’s not going to get what he wants from JD. This will be his last year as a Jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Unlike his predecessor, JD understands the (un)importance of the safety position. That's why he shipped Jamal off, and why Maye will be replaced by late round picks in the near future. Maye is tagged. My guess is JD will trade him at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same age as my daughter, who I really don't consider to be all that old, lol. That changes my thinking and I think you may be right. Letting him just play on the tag this year is probably the best move. See how he fares in Saleh's defense, as well as seeing what he has in the safety pipeline before making a decision about him beyond this season. I could definitely see him being one & done. There are only 12 safeties averaging over $10M/year in the league and Maye is now one of them. Tyrann Mathieu and Devin McCourty are the only guys on that list older than Maye. Doesn't look promising for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yes, I think he’ll sign Maye within the next month or two. Maye has another 3 or so years left of peak play left. 3/33 or 3/36 would be a solid offer for Maye and the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I would prefer we not keep older Jets players and add in a few vets from winning organizations who have similiar skill sets. The idea that in order to create continuity we have to pay draft picks and players who were developed by coaching staffs that none of us respect because they wore our uniform seems childish. We need to build a team around a young group of players developed by this coaching staff and spend our money on players who have been drafted, coached and played for winning teams. My view is the exact opposite of Bits. We need to get rid of former Jets and pay guys who know how to win, want to be here and will buy in. The Jets are building a team with a group of young players that were drafted together and will grow together. Don't surround them with disgruntled losers. Getting rid of Jamal for value and letting Robbie go was fine. Maye has a decision to make. Does he want to be part of the solution, get paid to a reasonable 3 year deal buy in or see you later. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 hopefully they pay him. he is a good player, and has been a good soldier more or less. drafting players, them turning out to be good, and paying them market value is best case scenario. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
