ReutersFor NFL players, the offseason provides an opportunity to rest. To relax. To recover.
And, in some cases, to negotiate financial settlements of pending litigation.
Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has accomplished at least the latter. According to FOX 12 in Oregon, Suh has resolved a $1 million lawsuit arising from a December 2011 car accident in Portland, which occurred while he was serving a two-game suspension following a Thanksgiving stomping incident (not to be confused with a Thanksgiving crotch-kicking incident).
Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed; they rarely are. And it’s no surprise the case was resolved. Suh’s lawyer acknowledged in the aftermath of the filing that Suh owed the plaintiff, Saadia Van Winkle, something for injuries suffered in the crash. The parties disagreed, however, on the magnitude of the damages.

After “Suh Settles Car Crash Lawsuit,” I expected the rest of the headline to be “By Stomping On Complaintant’s Head.”
Hope he can settle the lawsuit with the Lions when his contract is up and they realize they have been getting robbed!
Do you have to pay taxes on lawsuit settlements when you win?
Isn’t this why we pay insurance?
Suh avoided being sued!
Maybe he’ll avoid driving by taking the Subway more often.
What a mess this guy is.
Life ain’t easy for a boy named Suh
classless loser all the way.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have personal liability insurance. If I were a pro athlete, I would.
He had the best rookie season for a DL I have ever seen and I am 62. I sure hope he gets his life together he has talent to be one of the best of all time but the last two years he has been half a train wreck.
The only news I want to hear about Suh is news of a trade shipping him out of Detroit…preferably before the draft…
