Re: Fairley Staying?
Well ... what's a fair price? I don't think NF is elite so he can't really expect "elite" money. I do however believe he is a very good starting caliber 3-tech and it's great having him and Rankins rotate/getting creative when Dennis has them both on the field.
Right now our D line is possibly 1, maybe 2 players away from being complete. Without Fairley, we're possibly one injury away from being short handed ... again. 9M sounds about right. |

Re: Fairley Staying?
Not liking this but oh well. Hope I don't have to say knew it but when has a DT ever got paid and then had good production. Almost never.

Save about 5 million
FA Lawrence Guy, DE/DT, Ravens (26) / 6'4' / 305 / Rd. 7 (233) / GB Sneaky under the radar signing? He can play both the 4-3 and the 3-4. surprising pass rush efficiency. He was one of the best interior pass rushers in 2016. May not have the glory sacks but is always pushing the pocket and getting pressure. The lack of a pass rushing skill set, was the huge knock against him during the draft and killed his stock. I like players that stick to it and just keep getting better. Save 7 million Rd 3 Dalvin Tomlinson DT Alabama 6022 305 5.14 #54 rSr Would be a nice pick |

Re: 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. |

This horse is already dead many times over in another thread.
Maybe we need a poll. $5m < X, no $5m => X, yes |

Re: Fairley Staying?
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.
