Nick Fairley to Reportedly Sign with the New Orleans Saints

Danno · 03-25-2016, 08:04 PM

YES!!!!!!

The guy has pro-bowl potential.. But admittedly he also has bust potential as well.

I must admit, this move has me pretty fired up. He's a perfect 3-tech DT to pair alongside Jenkins. His upside is unquestionable. We should now be able to get some push up the middle, which will make Cam Jordan's job a lot easier, and whoever ends up playing JACK (Kikaha, Tull, Edibali, draft pick etc...)

Wow, shows how desperate we're to get a 3-Tech Defensive Linemen (Hope he can stay healthy and show the maturity needed right now)...

Plus you got the new "chop block" rule going into affect ... he gonna' draw some penalties or they're not going to be able to slow him down using conventional blocking methods, in theory,

.

Be careful of too much fanfare though ... it seems to go to his (Fairley) head and then he rests on his laurels. I'm just hoping his stint in STL woke him up a bit,

I agree with you. Maybe the last round of FA woke him up and he got his head screwed on right and decided to grow up. I am willing to take the risk and say yes. Incentives are the key in his contract.

So has he actually signed or even spoke to anyone yet?

Not yet; but there is too much smoke not to be at least a spark of fire.

Gotta make room. We probably have a deal in place, we just need the other shoe to drop
