Saints & Nick Fairley agree on 4 yrs/ 30 million deal

Wow!

ChrisXVI · 03-09-2017, 05:22 PM

Like I said in the free agency thread... This is a great deal! People thought he might get $10 million/year and we kept him for between $7-8 million. I'm thrilled with it!

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 to 8 mill is actually about right. i hope he left his baggage behind.

6 to 7 mill for haskins without baggage

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.

Defensive tackle should have great balance, now we have defensive line coach and the talent

The rotation at dt ...rankin, fairley, Davidson, and onyemata

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.
