New Orleans Saints defensive back Marcus Maye was arrested earlier this week following an alleged road-rage incident in Louisiana, per reports. The Saints signed the former New York Jets safety to a three-year, $22.5 million contract this offseason to replace Marcus Williams, who signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens.
