You cannot put this on the Saints front office at all. They did their due diligence, but fate stepped in.

Or maybe they knew but wanted to take care of him. I don't know but that is a short time frame for something to go from pass to fail for something he has been playing with for years.

Can we point the finger at someone here? Seems to me this is a big mistake someone in our front office needs to be accountable for. How on earth do you sign someone who already has an enlarged heart, to a long-term deal? Hell, how is he NOT getting physicals more often than anyone based on his pre existing condition alone???

I wish nothing but the best for Fairly, my frustration isn't pointed at him at all. But how does this even happen???!!!

Former Ravens stud LB Zach Orr is coming out of retirement after having a spinal injury... We should probably give him $20 million guaranteed!

(Just a little humor folks.)
