Guy Chamberlin Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 He would look great in a Raiders uniform, but only if the Raiders start playing like they did 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I would be cool with him making a shirt move to Illinois Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The Bears are moving to a 3-4 scheme meaning a guy like Suh would be ideal and they have options with their salary cap position. It is now actually a possibility. One can only dream though. Don't want to get my hopes up to high but there is definitely talk here about acquiring him. 1 Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Denver could use him... 1 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I wonder if he prefers to be the highest paid or to be a champion more. Because I don't think the two go hand in hand at this point. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Come to Florida, Suh. #FISH Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Denver could use him... Ah....I see it now. Get rid of Knighton and J Thomas so they can sign Suh. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Watch him end up in Jacksonville or Tennessee. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Lions' website reports team won't franchise Suh By NOAH TRISTER (AP Sports Writer) 1 hour ago AP - Sports DETROIT (AP) -- Ndamukong Suh can test the open market when free agency begins March 10 after the Lions decided not to use the franchise tag on the star defensive tackle, according to a report on the team's website. LINK Looks like we'll get to see Suh on a different team. I hope he goes a decent team where there's a chance for postseason play. Love to see Suh in the Superbowl. sounds like Detroit had enough of him.......you don't normally let guys like him walk. Quote Link to comment

Maybe they want to sign the guys they drafted instead, and then possibly pick up a cheaper veteran d-lineman in free agency. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The Lions screwed up with their contract for Suh and are now in a position where it is impossible cap-wise to tag him. This has been noted to be in the offing for months now, as was Suh's looming free agency departure (they won't have the cap to re-sign him, either) so it isn't a deadline surprise.

Yeah, I can't remember the details now but his previous contract sounds like a disaster from the team's side. Something about he is still counting against their cap even if he isn't there so if he did resign at something like $26M per it would actually be counting $30M+ per because of how the old contract worked. Basically impossible to keep him when they already have huge money tied up in Stafford and Johnson. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 OK. Apparently I didn't remember that quite correctly but the numbers were close. But it did have to do with how he restructured his previous contract. RE: Using the Franchise Tag The biggest problem is that it would guarantee only one more year of service from Suh. At $26.8 million for 2015, the only way to keep Suh off the market in 2016 would be to pay him 20 percent more than $26.8 million. That’s $32.16 million.Our friend Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press argues that the Lions nevertheless should tag Suh and then try to sign him to a long-term deal. However, guaranteeing Suh $26.8 million for 2015 and setting him up for $32.16 million in 2016 makes the logical starting point for any negotiation on a long-term deal $58.96 million fully guaranteed for the first two years.

Paul in WI Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think about any team would want to get him just in self-defense. Packer fans whine about him enough now. If he went to the Bears, it'd be insufferable around here. Quote Link to comment
