MARCUS MAYE NEWS

Tries out with Bolts The Chargers worked out Maye on Friday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Impact Both Derwin James (ankle) and Tony Jefferson (hamstring) are banged up after Thursday's game versus the Vikings, so the Chargers are now looking to add some organizational depth at safety. Maye played 15 games with the Chargers and the Dolphins in 2024, compiling 42 tackles (19 solo) and an interception over that span.

UFA after 42-tackle season Maye (ankle) posted 42 tackles (19 solo) and one interception among his three passes defensed in 15 regular-season appearances split between the Dolphins and Chargers.

Impact Maye played 11 games with Miami before being waived and subsequently claimed by the Chargers. He proceeded to get into four games with LA before suffering a season-ending ankle injury and finishing the season on IR. The veteran safety is an unrestricted free agent, so he'll first need to recover before he can sign with a team in the offseason.

He's recorded 12 tackles (6.0 solo) and two defended passes, including one interception across four games after signing with Los Angeles prior to Week 13.
