New York Jets Flight Connections 2/17/21

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! The time for NFL teams to designate players with the franchise tag is fast approaching. Once those tags are placed the free agent picture will become a bit more clear. The only player likely to be in the discussion for a franchise tag with the Jets is Marcus Maye. That would probably be a good use of the tag, as it may be less expensive to tag Maye than to sign him to an extension. Unless Maye is amenable to a team friendly extension, I would consider tagging Maye twice, then letting him test free agency in 2023. By then Maye will be 30 years old and it will probably be a good time to part ways.
