The Detroit Lions remain hopeful of being able to re-sign Ndamukong Suh.

"It's not done," the Detroit Lions general manager said Wednesday from the NFL Scouting Combine. "(We're) still working on it. Still very optimistic we'll be able to get it done."

Mayhew would not provide a timetable but said he'd like to get a contract negotiated with Suh before free agency begins on March 10.

"Priority No. 1 is getting a deal done with him," he said. "So that's what we're focused on right now is trying to get something done with him. We'll cross the other bridges of other players whenever we get to those."

The Lions believe Suh wants to remain with the Lions.
