When New York Jets’ DB Marcus Maye heard Monday about the trade that sent Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers, he wasn’t hiding his feelings.

Maye, meanwhile, could play the 2021 season under the franchise tag.
The designation allows the Jets to retain Maye and provides additional time for the sides to work on a long-term deal. It ensures that Maye did not become an unrestricted free agent when the NFL League Year commenced on March 17. If an extension isn’t worked out by mid-July, then Maye could play the 2021 season under the one-year tender.
A second-round pick out of Florida in 2017, Maye has recorded 266 tackles, 6 INTs, 22 PDs, 4 FF and 1 FR in 54 games (all starts).
