Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

"New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Maye has been suspended without pay for three games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, the league said Wednesday.

The suspension starts with Sunday’s game at Green Bay and ends following New Orleans’ Week 5 game at New England on Oct. 8.

Maye’s punishment stems from his 2021 arrest in Florida on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol after his involvement in a car crash in Fort Lauderdale." :biggun:
Who's the next man up? I guess we now know why they were looking at DB depth.

RG sucks!

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

Kinda feel lucky it was only 3 games.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

That's mandated in the CBA from what I understand. Maximum three games for 1st offense DUI, eight games for 2nd offense.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

So he might appeal for a lesser number of games?

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

Looks like J.T. Gray is the next in line. Unless they put Taysom out there at SS. LOL

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

I've seen where the first DUI can be either two or three games. Although, he would have already appealed. The league no longer announces the final ruling until all appeals are already addressed.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

I think it will be Jordan Howden. I believe he's been seeing most of the work at FS behind Maye. J.T. is more valuable on special teams. But, we'll see soon. We'll probably hear from the beat writers on it today from practices.

Sounds like Underhill expects Howden to cover for Maye the next three weeks.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

Looks like DA had also planned for this eventuality with the drafting of Howden.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

They definitely knew it was coming, just not exactly when.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

He played in dime packages during the pre-season & Ugo (I really like) in the nickel spot.

I'm certain we will see quite a bit of Howden on Sunday.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

So, another Saints player suspended! Grrrrrr!

Hopefully his replacement for those three games will want to prove a point and do a good job in Mayes absence!

I thought everything was going too well at the moment! Lol!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

Correct, they knew it when they signed him that he was facing a suspension. This isn't new, and to be honest it could have been worse.

Re: Marcus Maye Suspended!
 

And during a long, 17 game season, having some players take that kind of “rest” can help overall performance. For example, I like the idea of the team being 2-1 or 3-0 with our Pro Bowl breacher of peace not having taken a snap yet. Mayes could likewise benefit from a rest.
