By Glenn Naughton Posted On March 8, 2021

With free agency fast approaching, the Jets have locked up safety Marcus Maye by hitting him with the franchise tag which is projected to come it at $10.5 million.

Re Maye: The franchise tag for a safety will be roughly $10.5M, lower than many projections. The salary cap still hasn’t been set, so the amount could fluctuate. Now the two sides have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal. If not, Maye plays for the tag amount. #Jets
