The Miami Dolphins have signed former New York Jets and New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Maye, giving him an opportunity to compete on one of the AFC’s top teams. Maye was let go by the Saints earlier in the offseason due to salary cap constraints and his lack of availability due to injuries and a suspension.
In Miami, he will be vying for playing time against veterans like Jordan Poyer as he looks to make an impact on the Dolphins’ secondary. Despite being touted as a replacement for Marcus Williams, Maye’s performance never quite measured up, as he missed as many games as he played during his two years with the Saints.
The Dolphins’ pass defense struggled last season, allowing the seventh-most touchdown catches in the league. With Maye now in the mix, Miami is hoping to shore up their defensive backfield and improve their performance in the upcoming season. Originally published on Saints Wire, Maye’s move to Miami will be closely watched as he looks to make his mark on his new team.
