FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Marcus Maye didn’t get the long-term contract he’d hoped for, and yes, he is very aware of the big-money deals recently signed by former teammate Jamal Adams and Vikings safety Harrison Smith. But the Jets’ 28-year-old safety, who is working on a one-year deal as the team’s franchise designation, hasn’t lost perspective about the task at hand.
"You control the controllables," Maye said Thursday after practice.
