Maye added: “These are three super sports cities you’re speaking about now. So, all exceptional locations to play and, you know, I assume a first-rate spot to be a, you know, franchise quarterback at and that’s what I’m working toward.”
Adding Maye would provide New England’s offense the facelift it desperately needs and many ought to see the 6-foot-4, 230-pound signal-caller heading to the Patriots, inclusive of Mel Kiper Jr.
