NFL Notes: Ndamukong Suh, Browns, Giants, Jaguars

Ndamukong Suh

• Peter King would not be surprised if hearing officer Ted Cottrell overturned the league’s decision to suspend DT Ndamukong Suh for their Wildcard matchup.

Browns

• GM Ray Farmer said Tuesday that he would not hesitate to draft another quarterback in the first-round.
• Farmer added that he still believes Johnny Manziel can develop into a “solid starter.“

“I do think he can develop into a solid starter in this league, yes,” said Farmer. “I think that the sample size available is like you said, small. I’d say to that end, we all gotta be patient. I think there’s an opportunity for the guy to make changes. It’s up to him if he’s going to make those changes, but I think the talent is in his body to accomplish that.”
