2023 Fantasy Outlook
The former Jets safety dealt with separate rib and shoulder injuries that limited to just 10 games during his first season with the Saints in 2022. Nevertheless, Maye still proved highly effective when healthy, tallying three games of nine or more tackles while paired alongside fellow safety Tyrann Mathieu. So long as he remains healthy, the 30-year-old Maye should serve as a cornerstone in the secondary that's capable of making an impact both as a tackler and in pass coverage. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Release from Saints forthcoming
Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports the Saints' forthcoming release of Maye will save the team only $1.1 million against the salary cap.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety restructured the three-year, $28.5 million deal he signed with the Saints before the 2022 season last year, explaining the modest savings despite Maye having been slated to count $9.6 million against the cap next season. Maye ultimately played in only 17 of a possible 34 games for New Orleans, with three of his 2023 absences the result of a season-opening suspension for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy.

2018
After playing his first five years with the Jets, Maye signed a three-year, $28.5 million deal with the Saints this offseason. The veteran safety will fill the void created by the departure of Marcus Williams. Maye played in just six games in 2021 before suffering a season-ending torn Achilles. The 2017 second-round pick will look to return to his pre-injury form in 2022 as an impact player capable of solid tackle totals and big plays.
