DETROIT
Monarrez Detroit Free Press: Lions should let Ndamukong Suh leave
"And let's get something else straight. The Lions are not going to use the franchise tag on Suh at the cost of $36 million, which includes $9 million in dead money. It would be foolish to spend that much money to force an unwilling player to stay when that money could be much better used to help an offense riddled with needs. My bet is that Suh will sign with the New York Giants or the New York Jets. Suh is a businessman and, according to the Wall Street Journal, he aspires to be a billionaire. So what better place to pursue that goal than New York, one of the world's financial capitals and the locus of power and influence in this country?"
