Fairley Staying?

We signed him to a 1 year prove it deal. He proved it.

I have no problem rewarding him with a nice contract with some incentives.

We need him.

Define "nice". Because there's a ton of risk this franchise can't afford to take when it comes to overpaying free agents. Aside from recent blunders by our front office the DT position is not as dire as it has been made to seem without Fairley.

This is true. A Brandon Williams or Jonathan Hankins would easily make Fairley expendable.

After the dust settles, I think the Giants will end up letting JPP walk in efforts to re sign the younger Hankins. As for Williams, his hopes are to stay in Baltimore (has two young kids in school & is very active w/charity work in the community). I could see him taking a "hometown discount" simply because he loves the area & at this stage of his career his family is priority #1 as opposed to making more money in FA.

Saints FO better have a solid back up plan B & C if Fairley walks.

I agree, the odds are Haskins will be retained and JPP will test the open market. If not Hankins jumps up on my want list.

Rankins and Haskins would be a great youth move

a raise sure. Incentives for the big bucks. bump the signing bounce.

but $6-$9 mill with a huge cap hit for a player with a history like his is silly.
