Miami Dolphins Update: Ndamukong Suh Offered Massive Contract; Expected to Sign

Highly coveted free-agent Ndamukong Suh will reportedly sign with the Miami Dolphins, who offered him a massive contract, multiple media outlets reported.

The contract, which cannot be finalized until the new league year starts Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, is worth around $114 million over six years with a $60 million guarantee. The Detroit Lions reportedly offered him $17 million a year with a $58 million guarantee. If the contract details are correct, Suh will become one of the highest paid athletes and the highest-paid defenseman in the league.

James Walker with ESPN.com wrote, "Suh brings a mean streak to Miami that its defense lacks. He also brings national relevance, which cannot be ignored. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross likes to make splashy moves and is spending about $400 million in upgrades to Sun Life Stadium over the next two seasons. Ross and the Dolphins need an elite player like Suh who puts fans in the seats... Suh is the type of elite player who can turn Miami's run of 8-8 seasons into 10-6. The Dolphins need more than one elite player to win a championship, but simply getting over the hump and into the playoffs next season would make the large investment in Suh well worth it."

In his five seasons with the Detroit Lions, the defensive tackle recorded 239 combined tackles, 36 sacks and two forced fumbles. Last season, he amassed a total of 53 combined tackles and 8.5 sacks.

Although Suh's aggressive style of play has made him on the best ever, it has also led to many sanctions and fines. Suh had a total of 10 penalties, which tied for the most-ever last season. Over his career, he has paid nearly half a million dollars in fines.

The Dolphins, who have been a mediocre team, still need to find key players at linebacker, safety, cornerback and guard, which will most likely be fulfilled from the upcoming 2015 NFL draft.
