Nick Fairley becoming a solid pickup

This guy is on a roll. Hope he can continue his early success. We'll need him to continue to play well if the defense has any chance to improve.

Not really surprised here ... 3 years ... three years Nick has been rated as a top DT. He was no fluke coming out of Auburn. Add to it that he is closer to home and seems more mature now.

I personally hope the Saints re sign this guy in the off season.

Nick's version of the Second Line ...

Glad to have him here.

He'd be a ton better with Sheldon Rankins and Tyeler Davidson healthy

And add Jenkins too. He's up and down for sure but in a rotation he might be more up than down.

I agree Fairley is one of a handful of bright spots.

Definitely want to keep him around but I'm curious how his next contract would look.
