Suh !!!

The Detroit Lions have decided against using the franchise tag on defensive tackle 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.
FWIW.

"Suh to the Bears" until FA starts, I guess.

I'm not really in favor of giving Suh a shit ton of money this year. He's going to sign with whoever offers him the biggest contract. Seems to be all he cares about at this point in his career. I usually am in favor of avoiding those types.

I would really hope that not signing Suh has nothing to do with Jay Cutler and more to do with the model of throwing a kings ransom at a vet pass rusher has not worked out in the long game for this team.

Thie Bears are in a great position to draft their own Suh/Houston/Smith/etc. Let's try that route this offseason.

He is all about the money, get real. He is already on a solid team that is a few pieces away. Hometown discount would let the Lions spend on a little on needed pieces. Seahawks don't have the money

IDK, I keep hearing from Lions fans who say that Suh claims he does not want to go to another NFC North team. I laugh at them for actually believing Suh

Not unless he'll play for vet min. The packers pay their draft picks, not big name free agents.

After what happened last year they may want to pull the trigger. They have more cap space than the Bears.

Didn't say they shouldn't, but they don't.

if he signs with Washington, that may bump Shelton down to us in the draft, no?
