Of those, Kwon, Clapp and Ringo all make sense to resign.

Not sure where you are getting Maye playing FS for the Jets, JP. Here's an analysis by a New York publication on replacing his position.

Which NFL free agents can fill Marcus Maye’s strong safety role in the New York Jets’ defense?

New York will likely be looking to replace safety Marcus Maye, who is an impending free agent. Maye, who played the 2021 season on the franchise tag, seems improbable to return after he and the Jets were apparently far apart in their contract talks last year.

By analyzing Maye’s usage in the Jets’ defensive scheme this past season, we can get a guide for the type of player that the Jets will be looking for to fill Maye’s role.

Maye primarily played strong safety in the scheme captained by defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and head coach Robert Saleh. Nearly two-thirds of his snaps were played in the box, in the slot, or on the edge.

Here is a look at where Maye lined up on his defensive snaps in 2021, per tracking from Pro Football Focus:

Box: 42.8%
Free safety: 34.8%
Slot: 18.0%
Edge: 3.6%
Outside CB: 0.8%

I created a formula that analyzed the snap distribution of all qualified safeties in the NFL and revealed how closely their usage resembled Maye’s. This allows us to get an idea of which players are the best fits to step into the strong safety role in Ulbrich and Saleh’s Jets defense.

Here are the free-agent safeties whose usage in the 2021 season most closely matched Marcus Maye’s. Look out for these players to be on the Jets’ radar.

Eh, there’s got to be a reason he’s still out there.

My guess? It's probably about the money...

Unless in the Loomis/Harley calculus they've asked him to wait with a wink-wink as they may feel they didn't lose that compensatory pick with the Dalton signing...

Either way, I'm definitely Team HoneyBadger joining the Saints defense...
