He was sure that it was a soft-man moment for Suh. To recall, its release from the Lions in 2014 was acrimonious while the team refused their request for a larger salary after having made a salary reduction in their recruit. He finally signed a $ 114 million contract over six years with the Miami dolphins. At that time, he was the best paid defensive player in the history of the league.
Despite its test history with the Lions, SUH recognized that He will always love be in Detroit.
“The first time in this building since I was expelled, for lack of better words. But yes, it is always a warm welcome when I come to the city, which is like a breath of fresh air,” said Suh in a Dave Birkett report by Detroit Free.
SUH was drafted by the Lions as the second overall choice in 2010. During his stay at Motown, he became a member of the All-Pro first and five-time professional team three times.

He stressed that he did not want to leave Detroit, but he said that the team had not left him the choice because he prioritized his future.
“Really, the most overwhelming room was that when I look back and think about it, I remember very well, I just left the church and my agent called me and he said to me:” We got a matter, exactly what you want in Miami. How do you want to do with Detroit? “Adding Suh.
“I said:” Give them the opportunity to match, even if I take less money because of the taxes and all these particular pieces, I want to give the opportunity to match. “”
But as they say, time heals all injuries, and the problem is water under the bridge for Suh and lions.
