Where will Ndamukong Suh land?
A defensive tackle of this caliber has not hit the open market since Albert Haynesworth. Coincidentally, this should act as a cautionary tale for anyone looking to throw big money at Suh. Don't get me wrong, Suh is twice the player that Haynesworth was when he hit the market. In fact, the case could be made that he is on his way to Canton. However, when a big man of his caliber and concerns (the suspensions, though I love his nasty streak) is offered big guaranteed money, there is always a concern that will not live up to their billing Now, this is a two way street: the amount of money he is going to recieve will make it hard for him to live up to his contract, even if he plays up to the level he was in Detroit. This is why he needs an incentive laced contract similar to the ones Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick signed, so he forced to play every year like its a contract year. This seems like more of a pipe-dream though. There is always one team that will throw enough money at a guy like this where he cannot refuse (Mario Williams and Mike Wallace). My feeling is this comes down to a three team race: The Colts, Dolphins and Detroit (with the dark-horse being the Seahawks). The colts are agressive and need a defensive upgrade in the worst way possible. The phins need interior run support in the worst way possible and you obviously cannot count out the home team. My prediction is the Colts: Suh will get he best of both worlds. Lots of money and a contender. However, stranger things have happened
