The Lions decided not to hang onto Ndamukong Suh for one year, mostly since it would have cost them $26.9 million to use the franchise tag.
And it appears someone in Detroit is pi$$ed off about it.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, several digital billboards have popped up alongside area highways in recent days, with a simple, yet ambiguous message.
The billboards read only: "$UH?”
Now, the simplest explanation might be that fans are simply upset at what they perceive to be the latest greedy athlete.
And that would be easy enough to buy, except one of their baseball players in town is grinding away on an eight-year, $248-million (fully guaranteed) deal, which would buy the Lions at least a couple of Suhs.
Or maybe it’s a shot at management, for constantly restructuring his contract and not getting a long-term deal soon enough that it made his exit inevitable.
The guy who runs the billboard company said they were paid for by the same group of fans who had “Detroit Lyin’” billboards which featured a photo of a referee after their controversial playoff loss to the Cowboys in January.
Either way, some Detroit sports fan has enough di$po$able income to make his feelings known, whatever those feelings are.
