quote:

Multiple sources have said both the team and player would like to stick together moving forward. Fairley likes playing in New Orleans, which is close to his hometown of Mobile, Ala., and grew fond of coach Sean Payton. The organization had no issues with Fairley last season and realizes he was a key component of the defense.


quote:

He could be seeking something in the range of $9.5 million. That would put him above Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford, who has an average annual value of $9 million and had 4 ½ sacks and eight quarterback hits (Fairley had 22), but below San Diego’s Corey Liuget, who has an average annual value of $10.25 million and has recorded three sacks over the last two seasons. Fairley recorded 6 ½ sacks last season, during a season in which he spent some time playing on the nose in three-man fronts, and had nearly 50 other pressures. He was, by any account, one of the better defensive tackles in the NFL.

Saints gave him a prove-it deal. He proved it. Pay the man the salary his production dictates. Pretty simple decision. Its not like we are paying him as a free agent without knowing anything about him.

He has played well for us and has stated he wants to be in New Orleans so I think it is fair all the way around.
