Ndamukong Suh contract: Why Restructuring Would Hurt the Dolphins

Before 2015, the Dolphins were able to reel in Ndamukong Suh. One year later, talks have already begun about restructuring his contract. However if the team chooses to do this, it would represent a misguided decision made for all the wrong reasons.

Before 2015, the Miami Dolphins signed marquee free agent Ndamukong Suh to a blockbuster contract. He became the highest paid defensive player in the NFL, and was expected to become the heart and soul of the Dolphins’ defense. Despite many who criticized his performance, last season was actually a good year for Suh. His position is not known for putting up monster stats, and he was able to have success creating chaos in the backfield despite playing with a mediocre defense.
