6 year contract $114M total and $60M guaranteed. $60M guaranteed will be in the first 3 years of the contract. He's being paid QB money. EDIT: I wish we locked Mo up last off-season
NFL.com's Albert Breer reports the Lions offered free agent Ndamukong Suh $17 million per year, and $58 million guaranteed. They're numbers confirmed by ESPN, with the Lions' official in-house reporter seeming to take them as fact, as well. Suh's reported Dolphins deal is for $19 million per year, and includes $60 million guaranteed. The offers are close enough that it can be taken as a sign that Suh really wanted to get out of Detroit. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5593/ndamukong-suh looks like we barely 1 upped the lions, they know what they're losing. Mo and Dareus are gonna get paid. I expect a record deal for Dareus. He's great but he plays in a great D-Line as well.
The big question that I would ask here is: how are the Fins different from the Lions when they had Suh? I think Suh has just arrived at the same place he left.
I don't think this is necessarily true. Remember, Florida has NO income tax, so Suh would be making more money in your state even with the exact same contract. He clearly went to the highest bidder.
He's going to a d-line that already has a player with double digit sacks while getting double team. The effect this has on wake and the rest of the line is huge. Single coverage for wake! Expect the numbers for the rest of their d line to dip next season. I copy pasted that from the link in case you were talking to me directly.
Suh has aspirations outside of football too. He was gonna go to a place outside of Detroit that offered him the ability to expand his film career. In those cases Miami, New York and LA make the most sense. So not surprising that he chose one of those spots.
Right, but on the flip side he's exchanging Matthew Stafford for Ryan Tannehill and Calvin Johnson for Mike Wallace, etc. The Fins aren't any better positioned at a Super Bowl than the Lions were with Suh.
This move forces us to make the OL even more of a priority--that's a good thing. The chance of Iupati becoming a Jet just went up IMO
I wonder now if revis is gonna demand a trillion dollars if suh is getting 20 mill per. Most important thing to Revis is if he is the highest paid
So, I thought money amounts weren't allowed to be discussed during the legal tampering window, only allowed to talk to the team, not come to terms of a deal, no? How are these numbers being leaked if teams can't discuss them? I keep reading from people with "sources" that all it will take is to be the highest paid CB, so 14.1 or something like that. Not that "sources" mean anything.
No, revis wants to be the highest paid at his position; last I checked he never demanded QB money to be the highest paid.
With Jackson getting about 8m and maxwell getting about 10 a year revis is probably going to want over 14
Yup, supply vs demand though, he's the best CB that will hit the market, unfortuantely he'll get top tier money for being the only one available.
Prior to this last season, people were wondering exactly who would start opposite Sherm. Maxwell was the assumed starter, but it was a question mark. Then after 1 season, he is getting 10 million a year!? Haha ok. Maybe paying Mevi$ 16 million isn't so bad after all.
Hey. Detroit did not own shit with him. I am comfortable with the idea that Joe Philbin will also fail to inspire him sufficiently.
The silver lining in this is what he will do to Brady twice a year, the black cloud is what he will do to Smith if we are stuck with him yet again at QB.
