Ndamukong Suh is looking to continue his playing career in 202e3, but a deal with a new team being signed in the near future should not be expected. The veteran defensive tackle recently clarified his intentions heading into what will be his 14th season in the NFL. 
“I have no desire to be in a training camp,” the three-time All-Pro said during an appearance on NFL Total Access. “I will come in and watch and look and give some advice, but when Week 1 happens, I’ll be ready” (h/t Grant Gordon of NFL.com).
Suh went unsigned for the first 10 weeks of the 2022 season before ultimately joining the Eagles. That allowed him to provide Philadelphia’s highly-productive defensive front with added depth, and make another run to the Super Bowl. The 2010s All-Decade member has appeared in three of the past five title games, winning one with the Buccaneers in 2020.
That came in the middle of his three-year stint in Tampa Bay, one in which he continued to demonstrate his durability and consistent production. Suh recorded back-to-back seasons with six sacks in 2020 and 2021, while operating as a full-time starter as he had at every stop along the way in his career up to that point. That came to an end last season during his midseason run with the Eagles, as he saw just a 35% snap share.
A repeat of that workload would likely be in store for him in 2023, given his age (36) and the lack of familiarity he would have with a new team having missed the offseason and training camp upon arrival. Even as a depth option, though, Suh would be a welcomed addition to any number of teams seeking experience along the interior. A return to the Eagles was made less likely by their decision to draft Jalen Carter ninth overall, marking the second consecutive year in which they spent their top pick on a defensive tackle.
The 49ers – the other team Suh had been contemplating a deal with last year – meanwhile, made a splash in free agency by signing Javon Hargrave. That could also take them out of the running for further investments at the position this offseason, but it will be worth watching how Suh’s market amongst other teams develops deeper into the summer.
He will come in, almost certainly to a new team and/or system, and “give advice”? Umm…how about learn said system and your teammates. Such an upstanding individual is he.
Perhaps his plan is to offer advice on how to play with CTE. His mental stability has always been a bit suspect.
Sociopath with no regard for others and never admits fault.
Seem there are always teams that’ll ignore character concerns while reaching for the SB prize. While Suh would be an asset as a DT his on-field actions will appeal to only a handful of GM/coaches.
If he were to return to Philly his ‘guidance’ would likely be to Carter where mentoring could be suspect!
Character concerns, age concerns, has zero interest in learning a new system…but yeah sure, pay him Bcs he believes he can be a mentor. Yikes. Sounds like a great fit with the Browns..
Must be a lot of fans of Jethro Tull’s Living in the Past. His last suspension/fine listed in this site was in 2014. I think questions on age and possibly work ethic remain valid.
Weren’t the Browns one of the teams looking at him last year?
I’ve heard the guy talk in a number of lengthy interviews now and you’re right. If he’s a character concern, he’s sure a good actor. On the contrary, he presents himself in an eloquent, thoughtful manner
To me at least, the only concern with him is age and even that is a bit deceiving. The guy has proven he can contribute, and it would be interesting to see what his course of action regarding training camp would be if someone signed him beforehand
