Nick Fairley

I know he missed this year with the heart issue which forced him to sit out this season. Does anybody know if it ended his career? If he's healthy, combined with Rankins, Jordan, and a healthy Okafor if he comes back. That d-line could be dominant next year.

his heart condition wasn't something that can "get better" last we were told.

I'd say it's best if he were considered retired as far as football is concerned. If he can come back, great. Not getting my hopes up.

The best case scenario is that something happens and we get cap relief.
I'd say there is no chance he plays again.

I don't think he plays again and I don't think he wants to play again. He went totally dark from teammates.
Call me an a-hole, but I don't think he's disappointed that he's getting paid and not having to play.
He's a weird guy. Remember the idiotic scene at that Biloxi or Mobile concert where he acted like an arse on stage?
I think the heart condition is legit but I'm highly suspect that he now can't play with it after doing so for all these years - this is not something new. Only thing new is he got a nice new fat bonus that he gets regardless.
The Saints probably know this but also know they can't really say anything or they look like dicks - especially after the fiasco of our team docs, etc.

He absolutely wants to play again. He was upset with the decision and there will be a fight over the money owed now

What are you talking about?
The Saints are the ones who aren't allowing him to play due to the condition. We're the ones who won't clear him to play
We sent him to a specialist after his heart condition re-appeared during his physical
He won't be playing again:

The Saints have not revealed the details of Fairley's condition, but he was flagged for an enlarged heart at the 2011 Combine. As for Fairley returning, Payton said he would never "use that word never," but he added there is no way for Fairley's condition to improve. Fairley just signed a four-year, $28-million contract in March. Thu, Jul 27, 2017 08:56:00 AM

Then why hasn't he come out and said anything? Not saying that's not true, but he hasn't said a damn thing.

Cut him!! There has got to be someone just as good or better that's not a POS

Why would we cut him? We're going to go after an injury settlement I'm sure

Because there is likely a legal battle coming
quote:
"It's a challenging thing because he came out of the draft and there were some re-checks and it cleared at that time from everyone, but I've got to trust in the medical experts and I do, and I know Mickey does. It's just a difficult, unfortunate condition, and yet, fortunately we found it."
quote:
"I'd rather not answer that because I don't know yet," Loomis said of the contract situation. "I don't know how that's going to resolve itself. (There are) some difficult questions there. So, it's unfortunate for his case, and we're a lot more concerned about Nick himself than we are about that, although that is a concern."
What else is there to read into?

Then he is a fool. The saints are prepared to reach a settlement and not try to claw all of it back. It’s in his best interest to get a favorable settlement and stop blowing all of his money.

He's actually the one in a position of strength here.
It is in the Saints best interest to reach an injury settlement, but the NFLPA is going to fight to let him keep the entire signing bonus
And just like me, you have no idea what his spending habits are

Lawyers. Anything he says to anyone could potentially be used against him in his contract situation.
It's best not to talk to anyone that could testify against you because you know the subject will come up even if innocently curious.

Not first hand, but through a mutual friend I do, and his shite ain’t gonna last...
The Saints are in a much better position than you think.
