Before the NFL Draft, Tampa Bay was already exploring options for depth on the defensive line without re-signing Ndamukong Suh, but, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic, their move to draft Logan Hall may have sealed Suh’s fate. 
The Buccaneers signed Suh in 2019 in an effort to replace the production lost with Gerald McCoy‘s departure. Suh failed to produce numbers typical of his career in that first season in Tampa, posting a career low in sacks, but demonstrated his usual aptitude for playmaking, scoring two touchdowns on fumble recoveries, recording 7.0 tackles for loss, and hitting the quarterback 14 times. Suh returned to form the following two years recording 6.0 sacks in each season. Despite signing with the Buccaneers at 32-years-old, Suh has maintained a high level of play. In his three seasons with the team, he’s recorded 14.5 sacks, 23.0 tackles for loss, 46 quarterback hits, and 5 fumble recoveries.
Last month, after trading back to allow Jacksonville a second first-round pick, the Buccaneers used their first pick of the Draft to add the Houston defensive lineman, Hall, 33rd overall. Hall displays some of the same versatility that makes Suh so valuable, but at 13 years younger and on a rookie deal that should be much cheaper than bringing back the now 35-year-old Suh.
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht hasn’t shut the door on re-signing Suh, making a comment that seemed to insinuate he may be an option in case an injury hurts the team’s depth at the position. Suh would certainly be an effective injury replacement as he hasn’t missed a start in his entire 12-year career. He’s only missed two games since getting drafted and those missed games were the result of suspension.
Still, barring an injury to the line, signing Suh wouldn’t make much sense for Tampa Bay after using such a high pick on Hall. It would add unnecessary cost to the position group and Suh’s playing time would cut into the early playing opportunities for Hall.
Steelers could use him for a
Season
I agree , not only because any fan would be happy with a Suh pickup ,
but because the steelers are depending on Alualu & Tuitt to come back from season long injuries in 2021
very surprised a nose tackle was not added in the draft
all of the upside depth is more 3-4 DE material DeMarvin Leal & Montravious Adams
Wormley proved he’s a liability against the run when lined up at NT
Suh could fill either Tuitt or Alualus spot, and likely split reps with Alualu at NT regardless
steelers have about 13 mil in cap space and D line still has some concerns if these guys can’t overcome injuries
Yeah, I thought they had a good draft until the last few picks. Another QB, Cam’s brother and another linebacker. Would have thought beefing up the D line or adding depth to the O line made more sense
Suh would be a good fit but if the word was that signing Mathieu was impossible due to salary demands, it seems unlikely they’d get this guy
I never thought mathieu was an option
run stopping strong safety and playmaking free safety are 2 diff positions.
I do hope they add some veteran depth to the DT spot even if it’s not Suh
I like the heyward pickup tho.. kid has hands. just maybe more of a r7 guy , but prob wanted to ensure they got him
i don’t know much about any of these guys, but there seems to be a lot of available veteran DTs still on the market

“I tell ya’, life ain’t easy for a boy named Suh”.
Seems like a chargers signing. They have re-invented that D and plugging in Suh at the 3-tech would be sick
I meant 5-tech
I hope so
Come up to Buffalo
If you want to know where Suh would most likely go, start with a list of teams with no state income tax.
Well, there are five states with NFL teams that have no state income tax – Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. Of the teams in those states, the one that seems to be the best match for his demeanor is the Raiders.
at first I was like who the heck is Suh Waning?
Lol haha…Yeah, it kind of threw me off at first too. My only saving grace was already mentally connecting Suh and the Bucs…
I want to say it shouldn’t be capitalized, but it is part of the title, so it has to be capitalized rite?? lol
Maybe it should just be worded differently, “Drafting Logan Hall Makes Suh and Bucs Reunion Less Likely” Idk..Probably a bit too long for a title, but then again I’ve never really been one for keeping it short..lol
