New York Jets Flight Connections 5/6/21

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It was said by Joe Douglas that after the NFL Draft, the team would start to focus on a contract extension for free safety Marcus Maye. Some have viewed this as a mistake given Maye’s age (he is 28 going into this season). While this is a legitimate concern, I think that it’s a bit overstated. Maye has shown a high IQ on defense and a great level of play so far in his career. If Joe Douglas is able to lock down Maye on a two year extension, I don’t think this would be much of a problem at all. It would provide the secondary with great leadership and a reliable player while the team builds towards contention. While he may not be part of the long-term plans, he’s a necessary asset for the time being on this team. With that, here are your links to the Jets today.
