Dolphins, Colts Expected To Be Strongest Pursuers Of Ndamukong Suh

Mar 4, 2015 8:50 PM

The Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts are expected to make the strongest pushes to sign Ndamukong Suh when free agency begins.

The guarantees in Suh's contract could exceed $60 million.

A source close to Suh's camp indicated he'd prefer to sign with the Dolphins, though the Colts and Detroit Lions aren't far behind.

Florida has no state income tax, which could push the Dolphins' package ahead of rival teams.

Suh has stated his aspirations of becoming a billionaire.

Lions Decide Against Using Franchise Tag On Ndamukong Suh

Mar 3, 2015 10:49 AM

The Detroit Lions have elected not to use the franchise tag on Ndamukong Suh.

Suh was one of the more intriguing options for usage of the tag, because doing so would have meant spending close to $26.9 million to tie him up for the 2015 season with no guarantee of a long-term deal.

Contract restructures on Suh's contract left him with a cap number of $22.4 million, which escalated his 2015 tag number to such a high amount.

Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand have been confident for over a year about being able to sign Suh to a long-term deal and with the tag not being used, that gives the Lions a one-week window to try and get that done before Suh heads to the open market.
