Nick Fairley expected to test Free Agency

If I'm paying that type of money I want the NT from Baltimore thats a FA. Better options out there for a price tag like that. I draft a NT to rotate with Davison and slide Onyemata to rotate with Rankins. All these players can slide in and out and are cheap for years, it also allows us to shore up other positions with huge savings.

His market value (per Spotrac) will be close to 12M.

I don't think KC lets their stud go. Would love to have him though.

I'm not paying anything that would piss off Cam Jordan.

He started the party. Not Nick Fairely.

We have a new DLine coach who could really develop the Big O from Canada and Teyler Davison

20 sacks in SIX years ...averages 30 tackles a year.
Yes, he is coming of a career best year, but seriously, anything over 5 is insane.
He did play 68% of the defensive snap counts, which is on the high end of "rotational", but remember that number dropped once Rankins came back.

Rankins
Oynemata
Davison

I don't know why experts are reporting we have "nothing if Fairly leaves"...

We can still sign a DT and draft a DT

Just listened to Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on XM NFL Radio talking about the NFC South and their free agent needs. Both said that Fairley wasn't that vital given the kid, Rankins, that they both love. They said that if the Saints could work out a reasonable deal with Fairley ... fine, but if it would become burdensome then let him go.

I understand Miller and Kirwan's point completely however Rankins had some sacks but Fairley blew him away in pressures per snap. He was much more efficient. The Saints defense isn't going to get better if you are subtracting talent. Damon Harrison (Giants) aka "snacks" got PAID last year and he doesn't even have the production as a pass rusher that Fairley has.

Losing Nick would affect us.
