Cut loose by Saints
The Saints intend to release Maye (shoulder) at the start of the new league year, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Maye has struggled with injuries for the last three seasons -- two of which came with New Orleans -- during which he's combined to play in only 23 games. The move could save the Saints up to $7.2 million in cap space. Meanwhile, Maye will likely have to settle for a short-term deal in the hopes of proving he can stay on the field.

Misses final six games
Maye (shoulder) logged 37 tackles, including one sack, and two interceptions across seven appearances during the 2023 campaign.
Analysis: Maye ended the season on IR with a shoulder injury after being hampered by issues throughout the campaign. As a result, the 30-year-old played seven or fewer games for the third time in the last six seasons. Maye is entering the final year of his three-year, $22.5 million deal with New Orleans, which could make him a cap casualty ahead of the 2024 regular season.

Sent to injured reserve
The Saints placed Maye (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran safety missed last week's game with the injury and will now be sidelined at least four additional contests. Maye also previously missed four games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury and due to a three-game suspension. Jordan Howden stepped in for Maye as a starting safety next to Tyrann Mathieu in this past Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Out for Sunday vs. Lions
Maye (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Maye did not practice at all during the week, so it's not a big surprise that he'll be sidelined for his fifth game this season in Week 13. Rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Howden figures to start at safety in his place Sunday.

Maye (shoulder) missed Wednesday's practice, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Gets second interception in return
Maye had three solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Maye picked off Tyson Bagent early in the fourth quarter on a pass intended for Darnell Mooney, putting the Saints in Bears territory. Maye was active for Week 8 against the Colts but didn't play while dealing with an illness and hamstring injury.

Maye (illness, hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Questionable for Week 8
Maye (illness, hamstring) is officially questionable to play against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Analysis: Maye began the week with a pair of limited practice sessions before sitting out entirely Friday. Saints head coach Dennis Allen clarified that the safety's absence was due to an illness, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Colts, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. If Maye does need to sit out, Jordan Howden would likely see more snaps.

Tending to hamstring injury
Maye (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: It's not clear at this point when Maye sustained the injury or how severe it might be. Either way, he'll probably need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Suspension lifted
Maye (suspension) was reinstated from the reserve-suspended list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Maye was suspended by the league for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy prior to Week 3. He is now set to return to his role as New Orleans' starting strong safety, which means Jordan Howden should return to a reserve role. Maye did not miss a snap through two weeks to start the season and accumulated 13 tackles (11 solo) to go along with an interception.

Dealt three-game suspension
Maye was suspended three games Wednesday for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In a rough break for New Orleans, Maye will now have to wait to play again until Oct. 15 at Houston at the earliest. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Howden could be called upon to replace him in the starting lineup at safety.

Six tackles and interception in win
Maye registered six tackles (five solo), an interception and a pass deflection in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Maye made his presence felt in Week 1, most notably intercepting Ryan Tannehill inside the redzone to open the second half. The safety played all 59 defensive snaps for New Orleans and he could be primed for a resurgent campaign in his second season with the team.

Has charges dismissed
Maye (shoulder) has had charges dropped following a September 2022 arrest in New Orleans, La. due to insufficient evidence, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Maye's arrest stemmed from accusations of aggravated assault with a firearm, for which he won't face any legal ramifications. However, the NFL may weigh in if it's found that he violated the personal conduct policy. Prior to missing the last three games of last season due to a shoulder injury, Maye totaled 60 tackles, two pass defenses and one forced fumble in 10 appearances.

Won't play versus Cleveland
Maye (shoulder) has been deemed inactive for Saturday's game against the Browns, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Maye picked up a shoulder injury at some point ahead of Week 16 prep that kept him limited in each practice leading up to Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old will now miss his fifth game of the season. As a result, expect P.J. Williams, who was ruled active before this Week 16 tilt, to take on a bigger role at safety alongside Tyrann Mathieu.

Inactive Saturday
Maye (shoulder) has been deemed inactive ahead of Saturday's game versus the Browns.

Status up in the air for Saturday
Maye is considered questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Browns due to a shoulder injury, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Maye logged seven tackles and a season-high two passes defended while playing every defensive snap in Sunday's win over the Falcons. However, it appears he came away from this game with a shoulder injury, as he was limited in each practice during Week 16 prep. With fellow defensive back P.J. Williams (knee) also questionable to play, it's possible the Saints' secondary could be left undermanned against Cleveland.

Adds to stout pass defense
Maye posted seven tackles (six solo) and two passes defended during Sunday's 21-18 victory against Atlanta.
Analysis: Maye logged his first two passes defended of the season, as Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder went 13-for-26 passing for 97 yards during his NFL debut Sunday. However, the starting strong safety still tied Tyrann Mathieu for his team's second-most passes defended behind cornerback Alontae Taylor (three). Maye has now recorded 60 tackles while playing every defensive snap in all but one of his 10 games this season, and he should continue to play a prominent role Week 16 in Cleveland.

Team-high 11 stops
Maye recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Maye made an early impact Monday night, logging six tackles on Tampa Bay's 16-play opening drive. As a result, the safety went on to finish as the Saints' leading tackler, and he recorded double-digit stops for the second time this season. Maye has put up consistent production when healthy this season, logging 53 tackles over nine games, though he's yet to notch a pass defended.

Set to play Sunday
May (abdomen) does not carry a game status on the Saints' injury report and will be available for Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: Maye was ruled inactive for New Orleans' Week 10 loss to Pittsburgh after being listed as questionable with an abdomen injury. While the safety was a limited participant in each practice ahead of Sunday's game, he appears ready to suit up versus the Rams. Maye has played almost every defensive snap in his six games this season, so he should reprise an every-down role alongside Tyrann Mathieu in Week 11.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Maye (abdomen) logged his second straight limited practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Maye missed this past Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after missing two practices last week. His ability to practice in a limited fashion each of the past two days suggests that he has a chance of returning Week 11 against the Rams, though he could carry a questionable tag heading into the weekend if he isn't able to fully participate Friday. Should Maye miss Sunday's contest, P.J. Williams could again be in line for increased defensive snaps.

Maye (abdomen) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Maye was able to log 100 percent of the team's snaps on defense in Monday's loss to the Ravens, so it's unclear when he may have picked up the injury. His status in Friday's practice should shed a better light on his potential availability for Sunday's contest with the Steelers.

Limited in practice
Maye (ribs) was a limited participant during the Saints' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Maye has been limited by a rib injury suffered in New Orleans' Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay, forcing him to miss his third consecutive game Sunday. Therefore, the veteran safety will likely need to log at least one full practice Thursday or Friday if he wants to make a return in Week 6 against the Bengals. Maye tallied 13 tackles and force a fumble over the first two games of the season, and his availability would help shore up the Saints' banged-up secondary.

Analysis: Maye has been out since Week 2 against the Buccaneers, and he'll need to wait at least one more week before returning. P.J. Williams had seen an increase role in Maye's absence, but he was put on IR with a quadriceps injury, so it's unclear who will step up now in the Saints secondary.

Receives clearance for camp
General Manager Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that Maye is "ready to go" for training camp after recovering from an Achilles injury.
Analysis: It's good news for the Saints and Maye, who is expected to replace Marcus Williams at safety after signing a three-year, $28.5 million contract in March. He notched 88 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions the last time he played a full season, so he has an outside shot at achieving fantasy-relevant DB production in 2022.

Expects clearance by training camp
Maye (Achilles) is expected to receive full medical clearance before the start of training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Maye will be over nine months removed from November 2021 surgery to address a ruptured Achilles by the start of training camp. The 29-year-old may struggle to regain the form he displayed prior to the injury, but the former Jets defensive captain initially appears to be a more cost-effective way for the Saints to replace Marcus Williams, who recently signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Ravens. Maye agreed to a three-year, $28.5 million pact with New Orleans on Tuesday.

May have suffered serious injury
Maye suffered an Achilles injury that "doesn't look good," Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Maye exited the game and immediately went to the locker room after suffering a non-contact injury early in the third quarter. The issue was originally described as being related to his calf, though head coach Robert Saleh referred to an Achilles injury after the game. Though there has been no official diagnosis, initial reports suggest that Maye could be in for a lengthy absence.

Suffers calf injury
Maye is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against the Colts after suffering a calf injury.
Analysis: Maye was injured early in the third quarter and immediately went to the locker room. There's no official word on the extent of the injury, but given his quick exit from the field, it appears that Maye is unlikely to return. Prior to the injury, Maye managed six total tackles.

Just five stops in upset win
Maye notched five solo tackles during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Maye was statistically quiet during Sunday's upset win, especially considering that he was coming off a 12-stop performance Week 7. In all five appearances this season, Maye has played 100 percent of defensive snaps. He will be a worthwhile bounce-back candidate heading into Thursday's road matchup against the Colts.

Racks up 12 tackles in return
Maye (ankle) had a team-high 12 tackles (seven solo) to go with a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: With New England's rushing attack and short passing game easily getting past New York's injury-riddled linebacker corps, Maye and fellow safety Ashtyn Davis (11 tackles) were busy providing support downfield. Maye's a popular candidate to be moved at the trade deadline if the Jets feel like they won't be able to re-sign their 2017 second-round selection, who's currently playing on the franchise tag. This strong performance will assure potential suitors that Maye's over the ankle injury that…read more

Full practice Thursday
Maye (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice ahead the Jets' Week 7 matchup with the Patriots, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old suffered the ankle injury on Sept. 26 versus the Broncos and has been inactive for two straight contests, but he appears like a full-go for this weekend. In three games this season, Maye has 23 tackles, a sack and a pass deflection.

Returns to practice Wednesday
Maye (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, but he is still considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Maye suffered an ankle injury during the Week 3 loss to Denver and has been sidelined since. The 2017 second-rounder will likely need a few practices under him to be available for game action, but if he is able to suit up Sunday, then he would likely reclaim his starting job at free safety.

Labeled as day-to-day
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Maye (ankle) is considered day-to-day, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Maye suffered an ankle injury during the Week 3 loss to Denver in late September, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to practice in the coming days. The 2017 second-rounder is in line to reclaim his starting job at free safety once he's cleared to play.

Should return after bye week
Coach Robert Saleh hopes Maye (ankle) will be able to play coming out of the Jets' Week 6 bye, Eric Allen of the Jets' official sitereports.
Analysis: Maye has missed the past two games while dealing with an ankle injury, but that could be the end of his absence thanks to the bye this week. The 28-year-old should reclaim the starting role at free safety once healthy.

Facing DUI charges
Maye (ankle) is facing three charges stemming from a DUI arrest that occurred Feb. 23 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Maye was charged with driving under the influence, DUI/damage to property and leaving the scene of an accident, for which he has an upcoming Zoom hearing scheduled for Oct. 20. While the legal process plays out, the NFL likely will begin an investigation of its own, particularly to determine any potential violations of the personal conduct policy. Currently, Maye is recovering from a sprained ankle, which has resulted in one DNP and is expected to keep him sidelined 3-to-4 weeks overall.

Set to miss multiple weeks
The Jets expect Maye to miss 3-to-4 weeks while he recovers from an ankle injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Maye tallied nine tackles while playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Broncos, but he injured his ankle near the end of the contest and will be forced to miss time as a result. The loss of Maye is a costly blow to a New York secondary that is already down another starting safety in Lamarcus Joyner (triceps), who went down with a season-ending injury Week 1. Adrian Colbert and Jarrod Wilson are now the lone healthy safeties remaining on the roster.

Another strong tackling effort
Maye totaled nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Maye came one tackle short of C.J. Mosley's team-leading total, as two of the few established veterans on the league's youngest roster have kept things from spiraling further out of control for the struggling Jets. The 29-year-old safety set a career high with 88 tackles last season, and Maye's on pace to blow past that total with 23 tackles through three games.

Stuffs stat sheet in Week 2 loss
Maye had six tackles (four solo), two tackles for loss, a sack and a pass defensed in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.
Analysis: Maye did a little bit of everything for a Jets defense that spent extensive time on the field with the offense struggling badly. New York's offensive struggles through two weeks suggest game scripts like this one will likely be common, which should allow the versatile Maye to continue stuffing the stat sheet moving forward.

Eight tackles in season opener
Maye had eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 19-14 loss to Carolina.
Analysis: Maye put aside any hard feelings over his contract dispute with the Jets and delivered a solid performance in the season opener. Only linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips (12) registered more tackles than Maye. The versatile safety provides much-needed security behind the Jets' inexperienced cornerback corps while still finding time to contribute in run support.

Cleared for return
Maye passed his physical and was cleared to return to practice Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Maye was placed on the non-football injury last to start camp but was cleared after missing very little time. He will play the 2021 season on the franchise tag after he and the Jets failed to reach a long-term extension prior to the July 15 deadline. Maye has emerged as a cornerstone of the team's secondary and logged 88 tackles, 11 passes defensed and two interceptions across 16 games in 2020.

Placed on NFI list
The Jets are placing Maye on the non-football injury list for the start of training camp, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This may be a product of tension between player and team, with Maye scheduled to play out 2021 under a franchise tag after negotiations on a long-term contract fell apart ahead of the July 15 deadline. The 28-year-old safety was a 16-game starter the past two seasons, and no injury has been reported so far this spring/summer. Still, it's possible this is unrelated to the contract, and merely a result of Maye suffering an injury while he was away from the team.

Doesn't reach extension agreement
Maye and the Jets failed to reach a long-term contract agreement prior to Thursday's deadline for franchise-tagged players, Joey Chandler of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Reports recently had surfaced that contract talks between Maye and the team had broken down, making it unlikely that a deal would be reached. He'll now play the 2022 season under the franchise tag and earn $10.6 million. It's possible that Maye holds out of training camp in an effort to be traded, though that may not be likely given that he attended the team's mandatory minicamp earlier in the offseason.

Unlikely to sign extension
Maye and the Jets aren't expected to agree on a long-term contract before Thursday's deadline for franchise-tagged players, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The team reportedly didn't respond to Maye's latest proposal, and the safety then retracted it. He's now expected to play out 2021 under a franchise tag for $10.6 million, though the Jets might explore trade possibilities if they're now feeling pessimistic about the prospect of re-signing Maye next offseason.

Accepts franchise tag
Maye has accepted his $10.6 million franchise tag with the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Maye will stick with the Jets on a $10.6 million salary for the 2021 season, though both sides still have until July 15 to come to terms on a multi-year extension. The 28-year-old safety has started all 16 games in three of four seasons with the Jets, and he set career-high marks in terms of tackles (88 total), pass breakups (11) and sacks (two) last season.

Receives franchise tag
The Jets placed the franchise tag on Maye on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Maye has averaged 4.9 tackles per game through four seasons, culminating in a career-high 88 stops in 2020. Through 54 career contests, the free safety also has accumulated six interceptions, four forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery. Assuming the Jets are unable to reach a long-term deal with Maye by July 15 and he puts pen to paper on the tag, he'll earn $10.5 million in the coming campaign, per Schefter.

Career-high 88 tackles in Year 4
Maye recorded a team-high 10 tackles (seven solo) and a tackle for loss in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, bringing his season total to a career-best 88 tackles.
Analysis: Only linebacker Neville Hewitt (134) finished with more tackles, and Maye also contributed two interceptions, two sacks and 11 passes defensed. The safety was one of the few consistent positive performers on a team that finished 2-14, so Maye will likely be extended by the Jets, as the 2017 second-round pick's rookie contract has expired.

Ten tackles in loss
Maye finished with 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Maye was a tackling machine in both games against the Bills this season, racking up 10 tackles in each matchup. The safety has added 24 tackles over the five games in between, giving him a total of 44 heading into a Week 8 date with the Chiefs.

Spectacular interception in loss
Maye had two tackles, an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Maye's highlight-reel interception gave Jets fans something to cheer about in what was otherwise another dismal performance from the league's last winless team. He got inside position on the receiver to defend the pass, then pinned the ball against his backside on the way down before finally securing it behind his back after it started roll out of his hand. Maye has been one of the few bright spots for New York, with 34 tackles, two sacks, an interception and four passes defensed heading into a…read more

Ties for team lead in tackles
Maye recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 31-13 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Maye cooled down after a career game in the season opener, but he still tied with Quinnen Williams for the team lead in tackles. The fourth-year safety out of Florida is playing the best football of his career for a Jets team that doesn't have much talent around him.

Terrific debut in new role
Maye notched 10 tackles (seven solo), two sacks, two defended passes and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Maye dealt with an ankle injury earlier this week, but he didn't show any signs of being hampered during his debut in the role Jamal Adams had handled in Gregg Williams' defense for the last three years. The 27-year-old looked reminiscent of his former All Pro teammate while flying all over the field during Sunday's season opener, as he logged career-high marks in terms of both tackles and sacks. Maye, who appears to have emerged as the new star of New York's secondary, will look to keep up his…read more

Slated to play
Maye (calf) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Maye logged two limited practice sessions this week, but he's made enough progress to play in the season opener. The 27-year-old will start at strong safety this season. Last season as a starter with Jamal Adams by his side, Maye produced 65 tackles, seven pass breakups and an interception, but it'll be a bit different this year with Adams replaced by Bradley McDougald.

Questionable for Week 1
Maye (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills.

Maye (calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Maye wasn't able to take the practice field Thursday, so it's encouraging to see that he's returned in at least limited fashion. A final decision on his status for Week 1 won't be made until the weekend, but Matthias Farley and Ashtyn Davis would be in line for increased workloads if he were to miss any time.

Downgraded Thursday
Maye (ankle/calf) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Maye was a limited participant for Wednesday's session, but he was downgraded while adding the ankle injury to his issues. The Florida product's status is worth monitoring, as he's expected to serve as the starting strong safety in 2020. If he's forced to miss Week 1's game against Buffalo, Matthias Farley and Ashtyn Davis could be in line to see an increased snap count.

Bothered by calf
Maye exited practice early Sunday with calf tightness, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Maye wanted to finish practice, but head coach Adam Gase decided to proceed with caution. Bennett Jackson and Ashtyn Davis will cover first-team duties while Maye sits out. Heading into his fourth season, Maye is expected to start once he's healthy, although he won't have All-Pro Jamal Adams on his side for the first time of his career.

Stayed healthy in 2019
Maye finished the 2019 season with 65 tackles and one interception.
Analysis: Maye was able to dress for all 16 games, staying healthy after a shoulder injury limited him to just six appearances in 2018. The 26-year-old safety had a few near-interceptions that he would surely want to have back, but he still turned in a solid campaign overall. Maye and fellow 2017 draftee Jamal Adams should continue to start alongside each other at safety in 2020 barring an injury or trade.
