Buccaneers Signing DT Ndamukong Suh To One-Year Deal

Update:

Ian Rapoport reports that the Buccaneers signed DT Ndamukong Suh to a one-year deal that “could eclipse” $10 million. 

Adam Schefter reports that the Buccaneers and DT Ndamukong Suh are finalizing a one-year contract on Tuesday.

This comes less than a day after the Buccaneers announced the release of veteran DT Gerald McCoy.

Reports from last night mentioned that the Buccaneers were a potential landing spot for Suh. 

Tampa Bay saved $13 million against their cap by cutting McCoy, so it will be interesting to see what kind of money they’re paying Suh.

Suh, 32, is a former first-round pick of the Lions back in 2010. He spent five years in Detroit before signing a six-year, $114 million contract that included $60 million guaranteed with the Dolphins a few years ago.

The Dolphins designated Suh as a post-June 1 release last year and he would go on to sign a one-year, $14 million contract with the Rams. He was once again testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

In 2018, Suh appeared in all 16 games for the Rams and recorded 59 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and four pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 20 interior defender out of 112 qualifying players.
