The possibility seemed to be more of a probability recently but make no mistake. The New Orleans Saints putting DT Nick Fairley on the non-football injury list is a devastating blow.

Veteran options that could possibly fit the Saints scheme may not be as productive as the undrafted free agents already in the Big Easy.
