Ndamukong Suh said on Wednesday that he's happy with the Detroit Lions.

Suh heads into the final year of his contract with a massive cap and salary number ($22 million) but the Lions and the defensive tackle haven't worked out a new deal yet.

“Why do I want to be here long-term? I think I said this from the very, very first day I got drafted: I'm here for a reason,” Suh said. “I had an opportunity — probably a lot of you guys don't know, I could have gone elsewhere when I was drafted. Had that decision in my hands. I chose not to take it."
