New Orleans Saints sign DT Nick Fairley

ChrisXVI · 03-25-2016, 11:02 AM

Somewhere RaginCajun puts his fist through a wall lol. I'm happy with it. Considering we don't have a single 3 technique DT on our roster I really don't want to solely rely on a rookie. Nothing's official yet but I'm hoping it happens.

similar situations:

2015 Spiller (Pats also were interested, even offered him a contract, we overpaid)

2016 Failrey. Let's hope this is structured like Laurinaitis contract...

Good thing we don't have the cap space to overpay too much...

Coach Sean Payton said earlier this week that a three-technique defensive tackle remains one of the team’s biggest needs. Fairley fits the bill and would likely slide in next to Jonathan Jenkins on the defensive line if he signs with the Saints.

Talk about a MASSIVE interior line

NFL Network just reported the Saints are expected to sign Fairley once the team gets the necessary cap space

Don't like this signing but if he's turned his life around and they want him, the. I'm all for it. I cheer for the team first, players second

So then there's this:
