There were rumors he'd be over 10/yr.

To have the 3rd best F/A DT at 6 or 7 million is great.

I don't care what other people would have paid for him. I hope it works out, but if he ****s the bed suddenly it is going to be another move in a long line of bad ones. Like I said hope it pans out.

7.5m a year for a top pass rushing DT is a good deal. Nick Fairley has earned a solid contract. This wasn't a bad move at all.

I hope you're right. He was great for us last year when he was playing for a new contract. Hope it continues

I think it will. The past two years were Nick's first opportunity to shine out right. I thought he flashed in Detroit. You could also argue that last year in NO was his first true shot (Rams are loaded up front). Donald is the future @ the 3 tech, so NF wasn't going to get a whole lot of production there. All I know is we're a better team with him than without.

As far as "will he play great as he did previously" ... I've seen nothing that would cause me to believe he'll pull a Albert Haynesworth on us.

It's not like bringing in an unknown. He has proven his worth as a Saint. He wants to be here. There is no indication that it could ever turn into a bad deal.

neither did the one we gave to Junior. Are we still paying him to not play for the SKIns? I hope you're right, he was great for us last season
