Lions defensive tackle obviously trusts his agent Jimmy Sexton.
Not only is Suh going to let him negotiate a giant contract when he hits free agency, but he’s also going to let him choose with which team
“It’ll be Jimmy’s decision, so we’ll go with that,” Suh said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “You can call Jimmy if you want to.”
Asked if that meant the agent would pick his next team, Suh replied: “Probably will. Yup.”
That should take care of any questions about whether this one is about the money or not.
The star defensive tackle could be playing his final home game as a Lion this week, but he was devoid of nostalgia at the prospect.
“I don’t think about things like that,” Suh said. “I think, most important, we’ve got to go out there and get a win and kind of go from there.”
Asked later about the possibility of playing his final home game, he said: “No clue. It’s not my decision.”
While it might not fit the “I do it all for the team,” narrative fans want to believe about their laundry, Suh’s honesty is refreshing.
He’s one of the league’s top players at his position, and deserves a chance to be paid as such.
So the fact that he’s up front about going to the place with the biggest pile of cash is admirable.
