[ESPN] Suh likely to leave Lions, likes NY

maybe if he is was just more like JJ and not a jackass than he wouldn't have to worry about growing his brand

 

somebody tell this scumbag he is not playing in the nba. suh meet the franchise tag*



*+25 million to franchise tag. if the lions think he is worth it, he is not going anywhere.

 

I'm pretty sure he's a DT and the 2014 tag was only $9.654 million I don't think it would go up to 25 mil.

 

"would like to build his brand..."

how rich is that? lol.

 

Seems like just yesterday he was throwing colt mccoy around like a rag doll.

 

He's trying to leave subway for jimmy johns.

 

Just seems like a good thread to link this one to.

It's unfortunate historically that talented athletes have lost that desire to stay and grow somewhere and build it into a winner. Partly because they're no longer indentured servants and can leave an exploitative situation, and partly because some franchises have built a permanent mystique compared to others, but also for commercially prudent but ultimately cynical self-monetization like this. I guess once Boggs and Clemens put on Yankee caps the train had left the station.

 

I didn't see Detroit listed int he most desirable cities thread. Anyone here want to live there?

 

It is just business. Players are more savvy now than every before. And I think you are totally on the money that players can now leave organizations that just plain suck or are exploitative.

It would be nice if both players and teams were more loyal to each other. But we all know a team is only as loyal to a player so long as that player is useful.

 

Well it's easy to see why he'd want out, but he's well worth the 9 million dollar franchise tag so I don't think he'll get out any time soon.

 

Makes sense. His brand is trying to injure people and deliver cheap shots, right? When he does that stuff playing in New York, he'll get a lot more attention for it than he already does in Detroit.
