Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Two days after trading starter Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Eagles, the Saints have more drama in their secondary, this time due to an off-field incident. Starting safety Marcus Maye, the former Jets standout who signed a three-year, $22.5 million deal this spring, was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, according to NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill.

"Marcus vehemently denies the (assault) allegation from a motor vehicle incident," the safety's attorney, Eric Hessler, told NFL Media, "and looks forward to defending himself when all the facts come out."

This is the second time in two years that Maye, 29, has been arrested. The sixth-year veteran was previously involved in a car crash that resulted in DUI charges. That occurred in February 2021, but Maye did not report the accident or criminal charges to the Jets, his team at the time, until it became public last October, per ESPN 97.5 Houston. His hearing for that incident was repeatedly delayed this offseason, but could also be subject to NFL discipline.

Oh Lort! Dude just can't seem to stay out of his own way.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

2nd time in 2 years he's been arrested.

Sounds to me like he is not being completely honest.

Seems like everyday we are getting bad news now.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Apparently the Saints held a scrimmage with the Redskins and the coaches asked both Maye and CGJ to stop Redskins RB Brian Robinson no matter what it took. CGJ didn't listen to coaches. Maye did.

The good news is if we have an off year, the Eagles will have an opportunity to draft a franchise QB and we will have an olineman who is injured and got into fights his first practice which really fits with the culture we are building and who we can sign to a long term deal right before he shoots someone and tears his ACL.

At this point, should we try to lure Malcolm Jenkins out of retirement?

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Eagles have a franchise QB. He’s kicked the Saints butts already.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

The other real shame to this is that I wasn't really against some expensive Saints veterans committing felonies this offseason. I just wanted Michael Thomas, Taysom Hill, and Andrus Peat to commit the felonies so we could waive their contracts. But no. It can't be them. We will have to resign them all to long backloaded extensions with more guaranteed money to get under the cap. Please Marcus Maye, if you get arrested again just do us one favor. Bring Andrus Peat along. Give him a ghost gun with a switch. Make it happen.

:dunce:Wow..... Saints new team...

Prima Donna's and thugs:dunce:

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Did Chauncey pay someone to track Maye down and antagonize him?

That would be a master troll power move..

Unbelievable

Dat dere is 5d chess.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Justin Evans time.

Unbelievable.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

given the number of carjackings in no, i'm surprised that the JPPD isn't on his side. Maybe it's he's not the right shade of Metairie.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Next man up! The pressure on the offense just got higher. I hope CGM really still Can’t be guarded.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Unfortunately our next man was drafted by another team after we traded away half our draft picks the last severals years because we think we are so deep. Mid round picks are key to depth. Loomis prefers golfing during draft weekend.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

We shall see. Are you pulling against Evans? Because he’s the next man up.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

This could be very true.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Before we come to a premature conclusion, let's wait and see on what details unfold.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Ain nobody got time for that :chug:




Fingers crossed on this one.
Postpone court date until after we go win this SuperBowl

Could all be a bogu$ money grab..
Crazy Days we living in, but I still wouldn't put it past the menace.

Hope for the best expect the worst right.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Always a ray of sunshine .. I sense your not a front office fan.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

If worst case scenario “Next man up” … Life happens … He’s already not available for the first 3 games so I don’t see any changes to the starting lineup.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

While it’s discouraging, I always take this stance and hope for the best.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

I smell TROUBLE brewing for that young man. Thank goodness we have good depth....maybe not as much since we traded CGJ to the Eagles, but that was apparently a no brainer for the front office with his attitude.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Maye is not unavailable for the first three games. His hearing for the DUI charges has been postponed until November. The NFL won't act on that until after the case has been resolved.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

I had not heard that … good deal … Thanks!

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

I feel we have a lot of depth in our front office and so that puts us in a great position to trade Mickey Loomis for a 5th round pick and make Jeff Ireland or whoever the next man up. I did register firemickeyloomis.com awhile back just for fun.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Bako - with all due respect, Loomis isn't thuggin' in the streets. I am not saying Loomis has great moral character, I don't know him. But IMHO, Loomis is the least of the Saint's problems. It is the ego's, criminal behavior, being a victim, and so on.

Humans will be humans, but more accountabilities may help. That said, I am accountable to myself and own up. If I am wrong, I am wrong. I don't think for a moment my job would tolerate me embarrassing them. There should be consequences for every action.

Obviously, we have to wait and see, maybe Maye can prove it wasn't his SUV, or he was in another state etc...

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Sorry Bako you have the 1 world view whenever something occurs, it’s Loomis or Front Office issue. Just does not bring anything to the discussion from my perspective so enjoyed and rant away I will no longer see your post.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Somewhere Between bako’s pessimism and Guido’s optimism lies the truth.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Learned a lot on this site we have very well informed members. How one processes information and data is always subjective an open for opinions. Be they right are wrong just not into the hate rant that repeats.

Rather move thru life with informed reasoned optimism.

Spent a lot years in and around Boston Hanscom Field KBED. 15 years with 1 other individual in the company and I against everybody being Boston Diehard everything.

Dave and I were Yankee Die hards, he wasNew York Giants and I was Saints. Dave was originally from Long Island. It was all in good fun but during that time NYY owned Boston.

Watch the Saints vs New England game when SP DB and the Saints defense kick New England/Brady’s butts for 3 quarters. Took a screen shot of Belihick and Brady on the sideline with that 1000 mile stare. Next day every body who approached me I just show them the picture. It was a great day.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

This stuff is something that the organization will have to overcome! My only question is 2 arrest in 2 years? We need to be planning a replacement now! Fortunately this will probably drag out for most of the season, so we won’t need a new one until next year!

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

That reminds me of the old Bum Phillips quote:

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Would have been nice if this happened before we traded our depth to Philly

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Gayle Benson and Loomis won't put up with this kind of behavior. DA is establishing his own culture similar to Payton's yet different. He's already on the roster and will miss three games as it is. Find someone to fill his spot next off season. I can see him being shopped next year even if we have to take a couple of low draft picks in return to clean up the roster.

The New Orleans Saints are known for second chances but he's already had two strikes against him and trouble usually seems to come in threes. Just ask my mom about her three boys. :wink:

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

We now have two MAJOR character red flags on Marcus Maye.

Initial report on the DUI is pretty damning. Dude was wrecked. Before all the "we all make mistakes" people come to his defense - this is a major crime that could have ended in someone's death.

And now this new charge.... What kind of person flashes a gun at young women? C'mon man. Get rid of this guy.



According to the police report, Maye allegedly hit the left rear of a Volvo while driving on the Florida Turnpike at 7:33 p.m. The police discovered Maye in his black Mercedes SUV on the side of the road to the north of where the Volvo was. Maye’s car had damage to the front right that matched the damage to the Volvo.

The police report states that Maye was “unresponsive when approached and moving side to side.” It also says that he “seemed unaware of what was occurring” and that he did not know he had hit another vehicle. The police officer wrote that he observed vomit on the driver’s side door and on the floor and could smell alcohol on Maye’s breath. The officer also said that Maye’s eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred, but Maye told the officer he had not been drinking and the smell was from two days prior. Maye declined to give them a breath sample and was arrested for DUI/DUI property damage.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Well, unfortunately he’s on the team and under contract. Like we he did (I don’t) or don’t like what he did, only thing to do is move forward and see how it plays out. I honestly don’t see how it’s very different than Kamara’s situation or then position Lattimore was in last season.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

No different Boston, it is wash, rinse and repeat, just another player. sad but true. I hope for the best.

PS.. still praying for a good friend from Boston to ship me some Trillium

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Or the crap that happened with every team in the league before Twitter was invented.

They are employees hired to win games. That's what matters most to me at this point.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Hard to win with shackles on your ankles...but we all know with you AG winning is much more important than a moral high road.

Re: Saints safety Marcus Maye charged with aggravated assault with firearm, denies allegations
 

Great quote. It is true that Loomis should take more responsibility for bringing all these problematic players onto the team. Especially considering he traded up for both CGJ and Kamara in the draft, as well as Penning who started off his career by fighting teammates in practice too. I guess technically we didnt trade up for Penning but basically we did because he was our second first round pick and we traded up to get two first round picks. And then Maye was his #1 offseason acquisition even knowing the extreme DUI accident. By shipping off CDJ for cheap and still continuing his ways of acquiring and trading up for more of these players and taking no blame for himself, Loomis is effectively blaming someone else, saying CDJ was the problem and now its solved and everything is great and depth is amazing when its not. Loomis is a failure blaming others not taking responsibility when his management is the common link. For all the players with character issues we have, there might be a few more class acts if we had stood pat or traded back in the draft and had extra selections, not traded up for all these players with character issues.
