Fairley had signed with the Saints last year after two down seasons with the Lions and Rams. Fairley had a bit of a career renaissance in New Orleans, recording 43 total tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2016. He played well enough that the Saints had awarded him with a four-year, $30 million dollar contract in the offseason.
Fairley was selected with the No. 13 overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Lions. He won a national championship while at Auburn, and was the 2010 SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
