A day after the Detroit Lions' season ended with a 24-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh had an emotional news conference where he broke down in tears, the Lions organization has made it clear that trying to bring him back is one of its top priorities.
Suh is eligible to become a free agent when the new league year starts March 10. Before the start of the 2014 season, the Lions halted contract negotiations with Suh on an extension or a new contract because they said they wanted to focus on the season.
Now, with their season over, the Lions can resume negotiating with Suh and his agent, Jimmy Sexton.
"That will continue to be one of our highest priorities," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. "That's going to be addressed constantly here until we come to some conclusion."
The Lions drafted Suh with the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft out of Nebraska, and he became an impact player for Detroit immediately. In his five seasons with Detroit, he has played in 78 of 80 games and made 238 tackles, and he's had 36 sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception.
