Can Marcus Maye live up to expectations?

In the 2021 offseason, the Saints were essentially left with the decision of whether they should keep DE Trey Hendrickson or S Marcus Williams. As we know, the Saints ultimately applied the franchise tag to Marcus Williams, letting Hendrickson join the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency.

Fast forward one year later and Marcus Williams too has left in free agency, signing a five-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens worth up to $70 million dollars. Former Super Bowl Champion Malcolm Jenkins announced his retirement later in free agency, leaving the Saints without both of their starting safeties from the 2021 season.
