Nick Fairley expected to test Free Agency

I would offer him a two yr deal at fair value 1yr guarantee no more. If he walks Cie La Vie.

I very much want him back, he has had the best pass rush production from an interior lineman for the Saints since forever. But the price needs to be right. No more than 5-6 mil/year.

Certainly hard to find a good DT these days or one that can play within the Disney rules. Back in the day swiping a QB in the head was par for the course.

If he warranted constant double teams that would be the only way. He does not so he will be home shopping.

Cap is going up, but giving him that kind of money is way too risky. Talk about overpaying.

I'd rather spend a little more and sign guys like Jones, Zeitler, JPP...

For 9mil you can probably sign Hightower or maybe even Zeitler...

Not sure if you had a chance to read that report JP sent earlier today, however Zeitler's next deal could potentially be upwards of 11M annually (per spotrac projections). I don't think we'll be seeing any top tier "bargain" signings.

9 million? GTFOOH. That's top 20% money.
He had 43 tackles last year and we gave up 4.8 ypc.

Let someone pay that to offset our signings, and maybe we actually will get a comp pick in '18

Beastmode · 02-15-2017, 02:57 PM

Yeah, no way. Just draft one.

st thomas · 02-15-2017, 03:12 PM

oh no, not even 6 mil, please we've been here before, once paid they layed and collected. lets let him test the market and when the browns give him 5 yr 45 mil contract we will bow and thank him for his services. its the nature of the beast.

I want him back but if he's looking for around $10 million/year then I'm out. We just spent 3 draft picks last year on Rankins and Onyemata and drafted Davison the year before. If we upgrade at DE opposite Jordan then I think our D-Line will be fine without Fairley.
