Maye was throwing to wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase, Jerry Jeudy, Nico Collins and Brian Thomas Jr. in the Pro Bowl Games. None of those players will be free agents this offseason, but Chase is set to play on his fifth-year option in 2025 without a contract extension currently in place.

Peyton Manning appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and talked about Maye’s willingness to learn the game. Most notably, he said he noticed the young quarterback in a productive conversation with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.

As in the Pro Bowl Games, Super Bowl LVIII includes a monetary incentive to win, although the $171,000 for winners and $96,000 for losers is a departure from the NFL’s usual twice-as-much payday for the winners still reflected in bonuses for the Pro Bowl Games, where the losers will receive $46,000 on Sunday.
