Marcus Maye expected to receive franchise tag

Multiple people in NFL circles expect the Jets to place the franchise tag on safety Marcus Maye.

Fantasy Impact: While wide receivers have dominated franchise tag rumors so far, we now have a defensive player in the mix. Maye, who turns 28 in two weeks, amassed two sacks, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 16 starts in 2020. He also made a career-high 88 tackles while defending 11 passes. Clearly, New York and defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh are excited about the prospect of keeping Maye in tow.
