this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's unfortunate. I'm not upset about the cap hit and all that. The man earned a bigger contract and got one. Just ****ty luck that this happened. And he was going to be a big part of the defensive line ...

Re: Nick Fairley Placed on NFI
It's unfortunate. I'm not upset about the cap hit and all that. The man earned a bigger contract and got one. Just ****ty luck that this happened. And he was going to be a big part of the defensive line this season. I was excited. Now...I'm just pissed.

Re: Nick Fairley Placed on NFI
He was going to be a part. How big in relation to the rest of the rotation, we'll never know now. I'm still excited. Not pissed at all. **** happens. Good teams just move on and I see this as the best team we have had since 2009.

Anyway you slice it, this sucks . |

Re: Nick Fairley Placed on NFI
I don't see us being better without him or worse.... he was playing on a prove t deal so of course we got him giving his all... who's to say he would have continued to play at that level after getting paid... I don't think this hurts us yeah it would have been nice to have him but the linebacker position is 100 times better that will help this D more thank people think ...

Re: Nick Fairley Placed on NFI
There's quite a bit of conflicting info on whether or not we're on the hook for his contract.
From what I've read it appears we're only on the hook for his signing bonus (spread out over 5 years) and his salary this year. S*** happens, this may be unfortunate but no way should the front office be hammered like they're being hammered by people who don't know jack s*** about NFL contracts. |

Re: Nick Fairley Placed on NFI
Be well Nick. Thanks for an exciting year. You deserved the new contract and we were thrilled to have you back.
Line depth is not as big an issue as some make it out to be. |
