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

So then there's this:

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

They are 100% signing him. I love this move.

A disappointment as a starter early in his career in Detroit, Fairley has proven the past two seasons that, when healthy, he can be a disruptive player.

He will slide in next to John Jenkins on the Saints' interior.

C'mon DA, just keep him motivated!

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
