The New Orleans Saints seemingly dodged disaster when the NFL refused to suspend all-world running back Alvin Kamara over his arrest earlier this year. Unfortunately, another member of the Saints appears to have just gotten in trouble with the law.
Saints insider Nick Underhill reported that Saints safety Marcus Maye was arrested this morning. He is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm. If these allegations are true, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
According to TMZ, Maye remains at Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Louisiana and has not yet been released. The exact allegations against Maye are unclear.
As you might imagine, Saints fans are almost in tears after their cherished security man was arrested and may face a major suspension or worse:
Marcus Maye was picked in the second round by the New York Jets in 2017 and quickly became one of the league’s top free safety guards. But a torn Achilles tendon he suffered during the 2021 season, along with a desire to leave New York, led to Maye hitting the free hand after the season.
Maye quickly signed a three-year, $28.5 million contract with the New Orleans Saints. The team was so confident in Maye that they traded starting safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Eagles yesterday.
Now that Maye’s status is uncertain, the Saints will have to scramble to figure out who will star in Week 1 if he’s not available to play.
Will Marcus Maye miss any time for the Saints this year?
