Or how about that monster Dontari Poe.

His market value (per Spotrac) will be close to 12M.

I'm not paying anything that would piss off Cam Jordan.

He started the party. Not Nick Fairely.

We have a new DLine coach who could really develop the Big O from Canada and Teyler Davison

20 sacks in SIX years ...averages 30 tackles a year.
Yes, he is coming of a career best year, but seriously, anything over 5 is insane.
He did play 68% of the defensive snap counts, which is on the high end of "rotational", but remember that number dropped once Rankins came back.

Rankins
Oynemata
Davison

I don't know why experts are reporting we have "nothing if Fairly leaves"...

We can still sign a DT and draft a DT

This position is also one of the worse with production dropping off after they hit pay dirt. We would have to be in a bad spot to even consider it. He has also had a goofy career. Not consistent at all, some of that is due to injury but not all of it.

I don't think KC lets their stud go. Would love to have him though.

Just listened to Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on XM NFL Radio talking about the NFC South and their free agent needs. Both said that Fairley wasn't that vital given the kid, Rankins, that they both love. They said that if the Saints could work out a reasonable deal with Fairley ... fine, but if it would become burdensome then let him go.

Somebody is about to get ripped off. Probably the Browns.

I don't see the FO offering anything crazy. He's probably gonna go for a big offer somewhere else. He'd be great to have but not at a monster contract.
