In Lions news tonight, contract talks between Detroit Lions star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and Lions management have been "civil and productive," according to CEO Tom Lewand (by way of Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk)
Per Florio, "apart from wanting to keep him around for the long term, a new deal would undoubtedly drop his cap number of $22.4 million in 2014."
However Lewand isn't worried about getting a deal done right away: “Ndamukong is a very intelligent guy, very thoughtful,” Lewand stated in a Detroit News article posted Monday night.
“He took his time selecting a new representative and he [hired] Jimmy Sexton, a very accomplished agent in his own right. I have a lot of confidence in Jimmy and I have a lot of confidence in Ndamukong."
Suh could take potential injury risk into account, possibly opting to lock up a long-term contract with the Detroit Lions in 2014 if he can assure the right price out of the deal.
