Nick signed a 5 million contract with LA Rams in 2015. Last year he signed a deal with incentives was worth 4.5 million.

In all honesty, Nick out played his contract last year. Now part of that was the absence of Rankins for most of the year which meant more snaps for Nick. More chances to get sacks and tackles.

Fairley knew he had a great season and voided the extra year to be a free agent.

I will add that I know Nick is from Mobile and enjoyed staying close to family. I think his true value is around 5 million a year without an incentive contract. The key is if Fairley wants a 2-3 year deal.

I could feel good about a 2 year deal worth 9-10 million.

IIRC, the second year in the contract was a "dummy" year so that his cap hit could be spread over two years, meaning he didn't chose to void it.
