Ndamukong Suh claims he’s spoken with the Baltimore Ravens about a possible NFL return following his stint with Sky Sports; Suh spent the second part of last season with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he reached the Super Bowl.
Ndamukong Suh has stated that the Baltimore Ravens are among the NFL teams he has spoken with as the free agent defensive lineman plans his return to action later this season.
The former Super Bowl champion has been a part of Sky Sports NFL coverage throughout October, but he is still looking to sign with a contender for the second half of the season.
Suh signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in November of 2016 season, assisting Nick Sirianni’s team to the Super Bowl, where they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs.
As his time in London comes to an end, Suh’s focus shifts to restarting a football career that still has unfinished business.
“I’ve got a couple more weeks, so we’ll just have to wait and see,” Suh said to Sky Sports.
“There’s some breaking news! The Ravens contacted me last week; they appear to be interested and played well today! You just never know.
“”We’ll see when we get back to America and settle in.
“It has to be a team, and you want to play with great athletes.” You have all these fantastic athletes and an incredible quarterback in Lamar Jackson; we’ll see how the next two weeks go.”
Baltimore is now 5-2 and atop the AFC North after defeating the Detroit Lions 38-6 on Sunday, despite possessing the league’s second-ranked defense entering the weekend.
Since being drafted second overall by the Detroit Lions in 2010, the five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro has collected 71.5 sacks and 600 tackles in 13 seasons.
The former Defensive Rookie of the Year was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that swarmed Patrick Mahomes on their way to defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV at the end of the 2020 season, as well as the Los Angeles Rams club that lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.
Suh was drafted in late last season to help the Eagles’ run defense, though he acknowledges he was close to signing with the San Francisco 49ers.
“I was trying to decide between San Francisco and Philadelphia,” he said. “I was on the phone with both of them at the same time and really actually wanted to go to San Francisco over Philly from the perspective that my favourite defensive line coach who drafted me in Detroit, Kris Kocurek, is in San Francisco.”We’ve been attempting to meet since 2016/2017. He came down to Miami and I got fired, then he went to San Francisco and has been trying to get me over there, and I’ve been trying to go over there as well, but it just hasn’t worked out for whatever reason.
“I’m glad I went to Philadelphia because it’s a city I’ve always wanted to play for, and I was filling a void for them as a run defender while also helping in the pass game and mentoring some young guys.” Aside from not winning the Super Bowl versus the Kansas City Chiefs, I’m delighted things worked out.”
