OT- Suh Signs.

5 years base salary of $60 million, and he can earn up to $68 million with incentives. $40 million guaranteed. Only $2 million less than Stafford's deal a year ago.
The house of spears will be slaying quarterbacks to the turf. Think Russel Crowe in 'Gladiator'.
I'm glad he didn't get more than Stafford.
The Lions D will be unstoppable? I know it is not teamlike to think one player can make a difference, but do you think the Lions get soem shutouts this year?
The defense will be better especially up front, but the secondary besides Delmas is a real question mark. Having a shutout is highly unlikely, but they will at least be competitive and exciting to watch, especially after a Michigan win the day before.
Linebackers are nothing to really brag about either.
Good D-line
Not very great linebackers
Very questionable secondary other than one guy.
What team are we talking about again?
Please don't compare the Lions and Michigan football....it makes me sad

All us Lions fans have is the hope that one player will save us, don't take that away from us with your dose of 'reality'.
I'm glad to see Suh signed and I'm glad to see a large amount in guaranteed money in the deal. A lot of careers have died in Detroit and to attract talent we're going to need to assure them money, so fact the current management is willing to guarantee money is a good sign, because that is what it will take to get free agents to listen when we call.
Of course we run the risk of getting a Haynesworth setup, where the man cashes his check and then checks out, but such is life.
A lot of careers have died in Detroit ...Possibly the greatest understatement ever uttered.
Okay now we know why favre retired. Someone told him Suh signed and he pissed himself.
Now he can start doing advertisements for 1-800-Call-Sam, or 1-800-Lee-Free, or 1-800-Dogbite, or whoever else is eager to Suh somebody in the Detroit area.
I wonder how well he trusts his eyes to Dr. Ramani
Don't forget Wallside Windows, Happy's Pizza, and Dr. Rahmani.
Who knows? Maybe we can get another Lion King commercial.
He is good
Glad he signed, glad he got paid, glad it's done.
I think if he'd have waited even a day longer he'd have lost a lot of the love the fans have shown him since pre-draft.
Let the Suh era begin!
my favorite Lions and he hasn't even played a game. Can't wait to see him in the Honolulu Blu and Silver even if its just preseason.

Its about time. We need Suh to get into camp and learn the system so come the regular season he can FUCK. SHIT. UP. I love the Lions as much as I love Michigan football and i think both teams will surprise people this year. Its nice that preseason starts August 14th so i can get my football fix before September 4th. Even if it is only preseason. Go Lions and Go Blue!
THANK GOD
