Saints
Saints GM Mickey Loomis said that they’re still waiting for a resolution regarding the contract grievance they filed involving Saints DT Nick Fairley.
“There’s grievances filed, so we have to go through the process,” Loomis said, per Josh Katzenstein.
The Saints signed Fairly to a four-year, $28 million deal with last March. However, doctors later determined that Fairley has a heart condition after he met with three heart specialists.
New Orleans later placed Fairley on the non-football illness list and he missed the entire 2017 season.
At this point, it’s unlikely Fairley ever plays in the NFL again.
