UFA after 42-tackle season
Maye (ankle) posted 42 tackles (19 solo) and one interception among his three passes defensed in 15 regular-season appearances split between the Dolphins and Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Maye played 11 games with Miami before being waived and subsequently claimed by the Chargers. He proceeded to get into four games with LA before suffering a season-ending ankle injury and finishing the season on IR. The veteran safety is an unrestricted free agent, so he'll first need to recover before he can sign with a team in the offseason.

The former Jets safety dealt with separate rib and shoulder injuries that limited to just 10 games during his first season with the Saints in 2022. Nevertheless, Maye still proved highly effective when healthy, tallying three games of nine or more tackles while paired alongside fellow safety Tyrann Mathieu. So long as he remains healthy, the 30-year-old Maye should serve as a cornerstone in the secondary that's capable of making an impact both as a tackler and in pass coverage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Release from Saints forthcoming
Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports the Saints' forthcoming release of Maye will save the team only $1.1 million against the salary cap.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety restructured the three-year, $28.5 million deal he signed with the Saints before the 2022 season last year, explaining the modest savings despite Maye having been slated to count $9.6 million against the cap next season. Maye ultimately played in only 17 of a possible 34 games for New Orleans, with three of his 2023 absences the result of a season-opening suspension for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
