Eagles News: Cowboys Make Decision on Potential Ndamukong Suh Signing
The Dallas Cowboys have made their decision on a former Philadelphia Eagles veteran.
Dallas is passing on the idea of former Eagles defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, according to Sports Illustrated’s Mike Fisher. Suh, 36, remains a free agent after spending the 2022 season with the Eagles during their run to the Super Bowl.
“The Dallas Cowboys have a hole. But they have a plan — and no, we’re told it does not include the off-the-couch signing of Ndamukong Suh,” Fisher wrote on Monday, December 11.
Ndamukong Suh Wants to Play During 2023 Season
The former five-time All-Pro selection and five-time Pro Bowler had been adamant about playing his 14th season in the NFL.
Suh — who spent four weeks working in London on Sky Sports’ NFL coverage — said the Baltimore Ravens had shown interest in him back in October.
“Last week it was the Ravens that spoke to me, so they seem to be interested and played great today,” Suh said on October 23. “You never know. We’ll see when we get back to the States, huddle up with the wife and family, get settled and keep training.”
Suh also said what would be a determining factor in where he decided to play.
“Where’s the right fit? Where’s the right opportunity? Where can I go and add value? I don’t just want to sit there and watch other guys be successful,” Suh said. “Have options, that’s the key, and make decisions from there.”’
Suh also approached the Detroit Lions about playing out the stretch with them, according to former Detroit News reporter Terry Foster. Suh, who was selected second overall by the Lions in 2010 draft, spent his first five years with them.
The Lions, though, “slammed the door shut,” Foster said on December 10 on the “Woodward Heavyweights” podcast.
With four weeks left in the season, the idea of Suh playing his 14th season in 2023 is starting to dwindle.
