Colts interested in Nick Fairley (Rumor)

[MTC]

As for Nick Fairley's next home, I've heard the #Colts are offering around double the guaranteed money as anyone else.

How do you embed tweets, I try and it only posts a link.

I don't mind Fairley just don't want the Colts overspending

[ColtJax]

His knock out of HS was that he was lazy. In college he only showed up for his money year. In the pros after getting that 1st round pick money he once again got the rep for being lazy, he once again showed up for his money year. If we sign him we have a guy that will be a poor back up, he has no drive and no desire except to cash checks..

[COLTS449]

I want Ngata, but maybe we get both.

[PrincetonTiger]

Go Get em RG

[Indeee]

Bad move imo. Fairly doesn't play 3-4. We need wilfork

[BigQandTheManiac]

I don't see both suh and fairly hitting fa

[Colts_Fan12]

Hell yeah!! Go get him Grigs

[CR91]

please please please no. odrick is so much better and fits our scheme

[Colts_Fan12]

please please please no. odrick is so much better and fits our scheme

I can't even remember how many people on this board have told you Nick could play in a 3-4 just like Suh

[Dustin]

Fairly is a top 10 DT, I don't get the objection.

I cant remember how many times your fascination with a pot smoking, inconsistent, bum sees to amaze me. there is nothing about fairly's game that makes me wanna spend money on him. 

[Colts_Fan12]

exactly sign this guy! He's not Suh but he's no scrub he will be WAY cheaper too

[Colts_Fan12]

as Dustin stated above top 10 DT in this league

[Nobody]

Well dont offer twice the guaranteed Grigs but Fairley is good.

[Dustin]

You don't know much about his game then.

[Colts_Fan12]

nope he's a pot smoking bum /sarcasm

[RealityIsLuck]

I'd rather stay away from Fairley, but I'd have to see the Price Tag before making a decision if I like it or not. 

 

I'd rather have Wilfork, Ngata, Knighton, or Odrick over Fairley.

Why am I not surprised by this. fairley is a very good player

[CR91]

I know alot of game was benefited with playing next to suh and thats not saying much

[jvan1973]

wilfork is much older and nearing the end of his career

[CR91]

Why am I not surprised by this. fairley is a very good player

 

why would you want fairley over odrick

[Dustin]

I know alot of game was benefited with playing next to suh and thats not saying much

There was a reason he was a first round pick. Dude is already top-10 at his position and still has room to grow.

[Dustin]

why would you want fairley over odrick

Because he's better?

[#BringBobBack]

Yes!!! go get him grigs would love to sign Nick Fairley not have to tank our cap like the dolphins did

[CR91]

Because he's better?

 

tell me who odrick played with and who fairly played and come back and tell me whos better. there is no one on our line that is gonna take pressure away from fairly not to mention having to learn a completely different position. I for one am tired of fitting a square peg in a round hole

[Dustin]

Odrick- Cameron Wake, Randy Starks

Fairley- Suh

Fairley is better.

[NewColtsFan]

Because he's better?

 

On what basis is Fairley a top-10 DT?     What's the criteria?

 

Sacks?    Tackles?    

 

Sincere question....   I'm not yanking your chain here.

why don't you go back and look at fairleys production without suh in the lineup and get back to me on who is better.

We could sign Ngata too.

[RealityIsLuck]

wilfork is much older and nearing the end of his career

I'd rather have 2 years of good football from Wilfork and no risk then 4 years of high risk high pay football from Fairley.

[CR91]

Odrick- Cameron Wake, Randy Starks

Fairley- Suh

Fairley is better.

 

suh is better then wake and starks not to mention the lions had cliff avril at one point

[CR91]

why don't you go back and look at fairleys production without suh in the lineup and get back to me on who is better.

 

suh doesnt miss many games last I checked

[BlueCollarColts]

Arthur Jones can take the pressure off Fairley, he's pretty damn good probably the only 'good' defensive linemen we had last season.

Nick Fairley had the highest pass rush productivity (pressures/pass rush snaps) of any DT in the NFL last year. 

 

14th in 2013, 2nd in 2012. 

[12isthenew18]

fairley would be nice

more then watt and mccoy? I find that hard to believe

[Dustin]

Watt is an edge rusher his was higher; substantially. McCoy was 5th. 

[Coltsman1788]

What? Colts espouse concerns about Suh not fitting the 3-4 and now express interest in Fairley who played for the same team/system, has more issues and is far less talented??  Pleeeeease.

 

Let's get someone who we know fits the 3-4...Ngata and/or Dan Williams.  Not Wilfork though...too old.
