The New Orleans Saints and defensive lineman Nick Fairley are reportedly closing in on a big money deal, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
Fairley played every game for the Saints last season on a one-year deal and is now a free agent, but it sounds like New Orleans is trying to bring him back.
