Marcus Maye has followed in Jamal Adams’ footsteps in one way. The Jets hope he doesn’t in another.
Maye, the fourth-year safety and Jets captain, was named the team MVP, as voted on by the players. Adams received the award the prior two years, but he forced his way out over a contract dispute and was traded to Seattle. The Jets want to hold on to Maye, who's in the final year of his deal.
