Does the $2.6M donation mean Suh knows where he’s going?

I wonder if the $2.6 million donation means that Suh knows where he is going? I'm guessing it’s known that St. Louis is taking Bradford. And Suh already has agreement in place for a contract with Detroit.

Maybe not. The details of his Nike contract were not disclosed.

I think this has more to do with the endorsement deals than anything.

I'd say more he knows how much his endorsement deals are.

He was just doing his taxes and found out he needed a write-off after that huge Nike deal he got. Am I right?

Unless he's the #1 pick he can't have any contract talks with a team yet.

 

He knows hes going high enough to make serious dough though so it isn't a worry.. and as said above he's got his Nike deal and likely already made more than enough from them to cover it.

Is this right? I thought teams could talk dollars with draft eligible players to see how easy/difficult it will be to sign them. I could be wrong though.

It's the other way around, Blackshirt. Unless your team picks #1, you can't have contract discussions. If your team is #1, then you can probably talk to whoever and however many people you like.

Thats what I said. Only the team drafting #1 can talk contracts. So unless he's going to be the #1 pick he can't discuss contracts with another team - ie. Detroit.
