According to Jason La Canfora, Chiefs free agent DE/OLB Terrell Suggs is still weighing his options and it’s “far from a foregone conclusion” he retires from the NFL.
La Canfora mentions that Suggs could consider pursuing a one-year contract with the right team.
Suggs spoke with SI’s Albert Breer following the team’s Super Bowl win and indicated that the door could still be open to returning for another year.
“I don’t know, coming off that Super Bowl high, it’s easy to say it, Let’s do it again. But it’s difficult to repeat. I don’t know,” Suggs told Breer about his future in the league. “I’m thinking I’ll make next year’s decision when it’s time to make it. The season just ended, so I’m trying not to think about it, I’m trying to rush into making a decision.”
Suggs, 37, is a former first-round pick of the Ravens back in 2003. He played out the final year of his five-year, $28.5 million contract that included $16 million guaranteed and made a base salary of $6.5 million for the 2018 season.
The Cardinals later signed Suggs to a one-year, $7 million contract last March before waiving him on Thursday. The Chiefs claimed him off of waivers and he finished out the year in Kansas City.
Suggs is once again an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
In 2019, Suggs has appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals and Chiefs and recorded 40 tackles, 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a recovery. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 78 edge rusher out of 108 qualifying players.
