Dolphins Hope To Restructure Contract Of Ndamukong Suh

Jan 28, 2016 12:25 PM

The Miami Dolphins will look into restructuring the contract of Ndamukong Suh.

"By the time we get to the first day of the league year, we should have plenty of room to address the needs that we have," Mike Tannenbaum told reporters, per ESPN. "Certainly we will be looking at Suh's contract."

Suh signed a six-year, $114 million contract in March, with $60 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. 

Miami is expected to pay $23.4 million to Suh in 2016.

Restructuring Suh's deal would allow the Dolphins to make upgrades elsewhere.
