Report: Raiders, Vikings have had 'multiple conversations' with Ndamukong Suh

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 6/21/22

Like Rob Gronkowski, it would seem that Ndamukong Suh's days with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are over. Unlike the twice retired tight end, though, Suh has every intention of playing for an NFL team this fall.

The five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle sent out a not-so-subtle tweet Tuesday morning indicating his possible interest in joining the Las Vegas Raiders. On Tuesday afternoon, USA Today NFL and Track and Field reporter Tyler Dragon mentioned both the Raiders and Minnesota Vikings as teams to look out for in the Suh sweepstakes.

There is mutual interest between the Raiders and Ndamukong Suh, per a source. Another team to keep an eye on is the Vikings. The Raiders and Vikings have both had multiple conversations with the free-agent DT.

Shortly thereafter however, CBS Sports' Josina Anderson had a different report.

While the market will continue to crystallize for Ndamukong Suh’s services as the season draws near, I’m told the #Raiders are not currently in pursuit, per league source.

Suh can provide value to any number of NFL defenses.

Whoever ends up landing Suh will be getting a 35-year-old coming off of season in which he registered a career-low 27 tackles, but by all other indications seems to have something left in the tank. Suh played and started in all 19 games for Tampa Bay last season (including both playoff contests) and recorded 13 quarterback hits and 6.0 sacks.
