Buzz: Could the Jets be in the market for Ndamukong Suh?
This would be a wild way to put their stamp on the offseason...
Ndamukong Suh update: #Suh tells me that the #Jets have emerged as a serious contender, alongside the #Titans, #Rams and #Saints (in no particular order). While a visit to NY has yet to be facilitated, Todd Bowles/the Jets have informed Suh precisely how they envision using him.

Suh would fit a need for a third starter on the defensive line and is an impact player that would turn the Jets defense into a formidable one, on paper. He's already said he'll go to whichever team offers him the most money and the Jets are still in a position to do that if they wanted to. And, according to this...
The #Jets have the biggest offer, though there is no visit yet. Suh would have to take less to go to the other teams… which he may do https://t.co/Zw8lp4vv4Y

Of course, it's just as possible he's using them to put the price up, which the Jets are likely happy to let him do, assuming they're not interested.
Nevertheless, it is a thought-provoking idea to bring in the controversial, but talented 31-year old.
Or, maybe they're going to do this instead:
Jets could sign Ndamukong Suh, pay him a signing bonus of $20M, and then trade him immediately for a high pick.

They'd take a $20M cap hit in 2018, but that's it. Should be able to yield back a high pick in return.
