Saints defensive tackle Nick Fairley triggers $250k bonus with sack vs. Broncos

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Nick Fairley had a good reason to be excited after his sack on the opening drive of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fairley now has 4.5 sacks this season, and the play early in the game helped him trigger a $250,000 performance bonus in his contract.

The Saints effectively signed Fairley to a one-year deal worth $3 million in March, but he can earn up to $1.75 million in incentives.

Included in the potential bonuses is up to $750,000 just for sacks. Fairley can earn another $250,000 if he improves to 5.5 sacks, and he would receive $250,000 more if he makes it to seven sacks.

Fantastic! Now sign him to a reasonable extension laden with more incentives.

You go big boy!

Really enjoyed seeing Fairley and Rankins on the field at the same time, they have the potential to be the best interior duo we have had in a long time!

Along with Davison and Onyemata to let them catch their breath, we could start seeing a very improved D line.

Now Linebacker and Secondary needs sorting, our DB's were way too far away from intended receivers.

I like the incentive based contracts.

Keeps guys wanting to perform regardless of how the team is doing.

This seems to be by plan in too many cases.

I can't stand how much 'off-man coverage' we play.

Love it when defenders attack! The only problem I saw was too much separation from the DB's on blitz's. I understand not wanting to give up the big play. But, when the pressure is clearly getting there, don't just give them the short throws.
