The Jefferson Parish district attorney’s office dropped a gun charge against New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Maye following his September 2022 arrest, according to WDSU’s Travers Mackel. District attorney Paul D. Connick Jr.’s office cited insufficient evidence to support the charge of aggravated assault with a firearm that allegedly occurred last summer in a road rage incident.
Maye signed a three-year contract with the Saints last March, which he recently restructured to ensure he’ll be on the team for at least another year (and he’ll likely see the deal through to the end). Though this case has been dismissed, Maye could still be suspended in the fall depending on how a Florida DUI charge dating back to February 2021 is resolved. ESPN’s Katherine Terrell reports that Maye’s next court date in that case is March 29.
Injuries limited Maye to just 10 of 17 games last season, and availability is going to continue to be a question for him.
