Marcus Maye was already potentially in his final season as a Jet.
The fifth-year safety wished for a long-term deal after the Jets franchise tagged him back in March. Both sides had until July 15 at 4:00 p.m. ET to come to fruition on a new contract.
However, that date came and went without any sort of agreement between Maye and Jets general manager Joe Douglas. Maye was thus set to play out the 2021 campaign on the one-year, $10.612 million tag, which he’s currently doing.
His season has begun relatively strong despite the Jets’ rough 0-3 start, but on Wednesday, it came to a halt.
