There were plenty of rumors surrounding Nick Fairley and the potential of him to land with the Eagles the last couple of weeks. It’s time to put all those rumors to rest, because Fairley signed with the New Orleans Saints today.
DT Nick Fairley has agreed to terms on a 1-year deal with the #Saints, source said. It was headed this way last week, but now official

Nick Fairley chose the #Saints over offers from the #Patriots and #Texans. With a 1-year deal, no question he'll be motivated. Solid move.

Even though the Eagles were reportedly interested in Fairley, it seems like they never made him an offer. Jim Schwartz must not have been that glued to him, because it seems like the Eagles have signed all the players Schwartz wants on his defense. Womp, womp, Benjamin Allbright.
