ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted June 4, 2017 Saints defensive tackle Nick Fairley has missed Organized Team Activities this week, reportedly because of a potentially serious health concern. Jennifer Hale of FOX Sports reports that Fairley underwent tests that show heart trouble that could jeopardize his career. Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports adds that teammates who speak to Fairley regularly haven’t been able to get in touch with him recently. Fairley is coming off a strong 2016 season, which the Saints rewarded this offseason with a four-year, $28 million contract. A first-round draft pick of the Lions in 2011, Fairley played four years in Detroit and one in St. Louis before signing with the Saints last year. If this is true... walk away with that money young man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted June 26, 2017 Saints placed DT Nick Fairley (heart) on the reserve/NFI list. Fairley is expected to miss all of 2017, and his career is in grave danger. Per the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the decision was made after consulting with "several doctors." Fairley has received at least three opinions on his heart condition. It's bitterly disappointing news after Fairley appeared in all 16 games for the first time in six NFL seasons last year. It's also a major blow to a Saints defense that remained woefully ineffective in 2016. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
