Ndamukong Suh
What is it they used to say about Pistons Bad Boy Bill Laimbeer?
"He's an asshole, but he's our asshole."
Well, the same could certainly have been said about the Lions' Ndamukong Suh.
Well, it appears Suh is no longer going to be our asshole.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that the Miami Dolphins are expected to sign Suh this week for about $114 million with $60 million in guaranteed money, making him the NFL's highest-paid defensive player.
ESPN, citing unnamed sources, writes that Suh will get $60 million in the first three years on a contract that is expected to average $19 million over the six years of the deal.
Certainly, it's a big loss, but it also comes as little surprise that Suh might jump ship at the first opportunity.
The Miami Herald on Sunday wrote:
The Dolphins made improving their run defense a priority, and Suh will undoubtedly do that, while also boosting their pass rush.
The Dolphins beat out the Lions, Chargers and several other suitors for the player considered the most impactful in this free agent class.
