Safety Marcus Maye said he's enjoying his time in his fifth summer as a member of the New York Jets.
There's new head coach Robert Saleh, of whom Maye says: "I love him. So far so good. He's been helping me a lot, getting me used to different things because a lot of things are new. We've had our small talks on the side, he's coaching me up. I have no issues at all."
Then there's the new defensive scheme itself: "It's been great, a great scheme. I just kind of find where I belong. I'm sure the coaches will do a great job and put me in the places they need me in."
And a new probable starting teammate alongside Maye in the Jets' deep middle in veteran Lamarcus Joyner: "We're a new unit, me and Lamarcus. Communications are big right now. The faster we can get on the same page, the better we'll be. I feel like we've been doing a great job so far. He's played a lot of ball in this league."
Of course, Maye's enjoyment would be even higher now if he had signed a new contract with the Jets. But he received the team's franchise tag in March, and his representatives couldn't strike an agreement with general manager Joe Douglas and his front-office team before the July 15 deadline for signing long-term deals. So Maye is playing this season under the terms of the tag, and he told reporters Saturday, in his first remarks on the stalled talks, "I wasn't happy, I wasn't satisfied."
