Anyone Want a Beast of a Defensive Tackle? Ndamukong Suh Will Soon Be Available.

In a week the fates of several NFL teams stand to change dramatically. There are bound to be some who will not be able to resign all of their superstar players. So--if some other team is willing to pay the price tag they can snatch up a really good player and increase their own chances for victory while seeing an opponent get weaker.

Last season the Detroit Lions had one of the toughest defenses in the NFL, but that will change should someone else offer Ndamukong Suh more money.

The Lions could have protected Suh and put the franchise tag on Suh, but instead decided not to.

To be fair, the franchise tag would have cost the Lions a boatload on Suh. Since he was paid $22.4 million last season and the tag would have increased his salary by 120 percent to do so would have cost them $26.8 million.

The Lions are still talking with Suh and are hopeful that they can make a deal. They will have till March 10 before other teams will also have a shot.
