Free agent DT Ndamukong Suh left New Orleans without a contract and met with the Titans last night, per Jordan Schultz of Yahoo! Sports, who adds that his dinner with Tennessee brass went well past midnight (Twitter links). Mike Triplett of ESPN.com tweets that the door is not closed on a Suh-Saints marriage, as the visit with New Orleans was always intended to be a feeling-out session rather than an all-out recruiting mission. Indeed, as Schultz notes in a separate tweet, Suh has expressed his desire to take his time and evaluate his numerous options with his family.
Nonetheless, the fact that the Titans have parted with Karl Klug and Sylvester Williams over the past several days could be a sign that they are optimistic about landing Suh when he comes to Nashville. Of course, if Suh really does plan to take his time and visit other, as-yet-unnamed clubs — which we heard when the Tennessee visit was reported earlier this week — then it could take awhile before we know where Suh will be suiting up in 2018.
Florida Football Insiders, in a purely speculative piece, also names the Patriots as a potential landing spot for the three-time All-Pro. The Pats have a little bit of money to spend, and if they can acquire Suh on a one-year pact — much like they did with Darrelle Revis in 2014 — they may jump on the opportunity. FFI suggests that a one-year, “prove-it” contract might be in Suh’s best interest, and if he goes that route, New England could certainly get involved.
The Seahawks and Cowboys have also expressed interest in Suh, and Schultz tweets that Suh and Seattle head coach Pete Carroll have had two positive telephone conversations this week. The two men share a great deal of mutual respect, and Suh wants to visit the Seahawks.
The 31-year-old Suh may be getting older, but he’s still plenty productive. He graded out as Pro Football Focus’ No. 4 interior defensive lineman in the NFL in 2017, and he finished the season with 48 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
If the Patriots could get SUH on a one year deal in the $6-9Mil range than would be a solid pick up.
Prove what? He was still one of the top interior lineman last season. Titans should be all over him with a respectable multi-year deal.
I was thinking the same thing. What does he have to prove?
That he’s not a douchebag? I hope NE passes.
I’m a Patriots fan and i really hope they pass on him! He may be a good player but he’s a trashy player! Jerry would love him!
Sub reminds me of a guy on the Pats that takes cheap shots and tries to injure guys.
One play compared to multiple plays. Troll somewhere else please
Wait aren’t the Pats the organization that likes to cheat and not follow the rules? He’d be perfect there
They had a murderer on the team !! And you’re worried about 15 yard penalties ???
That he’s not a complete uncoachable A*hole?
Those were my exact thoughts. Top 5 lineman, and he might have to settle for a prove it deal? I swear, the writing on this site gets worse and worse
And your reading could use some work. Referencing an opinion from another source doesn’t really reflect on one’s writing ability, but we appreciate your candor.
Apparently prove that he could play on a cheaper contract?
Prove what? Prove that he can play “Belechick football!
Boy, he really took the Dolphins to the promised land, didn’t he. You know, like he did the Lions.
Not his fault. I don’t like Suh as a person but he’s a good football player. No one can take the Lions to the promise land. Not Sanders, not Johnson haha.
As for the Phins, outside of him I’m not confident enough to say I can name another defensive player ha.
Cameron Wake….
Suh will be a titan soon enough. He still demands attention. Teams have to be prepared for him
I was kidding. My point was he didn’t exactly have much with him. No way a DT leads a team to the promise land without pieces.
But I agree with you, he easily demands attention. DT and LB are the Titans weaknesses. Getting Suh would give them a much needed upgrade.
I think You guys are smoking something, he will get paid again
