Nick Fairley, Saints await decision on contract grievances

Rugby Saint II · 01-26-2018, 11:34 AM

Don't teams just give the player an injury settlement and move on?

since the team has filed a grievance, I'm assuming we made an offer and Fairley turned it down.

Surely there is precedence here

There must not be a precedence. The player passed his physical given before his deal was signed. The deal included a prorated signing bonus. The Saints are wanting the amount prorated to 2018 back most likely and Fairley's side wants it paid. The Saints are probably saying that Fairley did not satisfy the terms of the contract since he was never able to play. It could get a little messy, but would set a precedent for the future.

An injury settlement would be made for a football related injury. This isn't the case.
