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.
