This seems like one of those situations where everyone will pass on Sun because of his on field antics, and recent drop in play, and so he'll sign with the Patriots, and be a stud again.

At his age he will want to sign with a contender Or maybe money is all he cares about.

But Suh/Hankins would certainly make this a great dline

Not gonna happen. We are not a contender and Ballard isn't gonna give him that much money He's too old for what he is gonna want Better chance of Poe coming IMO. And I doubt that happens either

Ballard has repeatedly said he's not planning on making a big splash in free agency, wants to build from within, and will only be signing the kinds of free agents who can be part of the team, and prove their worth their contract.
That definitely rules out guys like Suh.

Just pretend that Polian is in charge again, because it sounds like Ballard has a similar mindset. Polian would never sign Suh.

For everyone except Omaha, the PFF grades for Suh and Poe (and Hankins for reference):

Year.........Suh.........Poe..........Hankins

2017.......91.0.........81.5.........85.0
2016.......89.3.........74.4.........73.9
2015.......92.5.........78.5.........81.7
2014.......88.0.........74.9.........85.3
2013.......89.1.........84.6.........77.7
2012.......86.1.........46.8.........College
2011.......78.4.........College.....College
2010.......81.8.........College.....College

Basically on the grading scale:
90s = Elite
80s = NFL Superior
70s = NFL Average
60s = Marginal NFL talent
50s and below = Why are you on an NFL field?

Suh is an on-field talent who has not missed many snaps over the past 5 years nor has his play trailed off yet. While he is 31 years old, you are going to get an impact player for a large amount of money.

However, Poe is no slouch. While not nearly the impact player, he has graded out very well and is pretty comparable to our own Jonathan Hankins whom I think most would agree played pretty well for us in 2017.

I am not against signing Poe because he is younger and will be much more affordable than Suh. While not the talent, having a DT rotation of Hankins, Poe, Anderson and Woods with Ridgeway and Stewart on the bubble to even make the team would be pretty high speed. Lots of rotation to keep them fresh and hopefully lots of inside pressure to help out Sheard, Chubb and Basham on the outside.

Suh? No thanks; Ballard said he wants leaders in the locker room as free agents and Suh is not one of them.

Poe? Yes please but not at the expense of not signing Norwell, Solder, Malcolm Butler or at least 2 veteran linebackers to start alongside Simon.

Walk Worthy,

The last couple of articles I have read on Suh suggests he's all about the money AND the tax rates (income) where he plays. There are few places as tax favorable as Florida and I don't see him targeting Indy even if Ballard wants him (which I think is unlikely). Sure the cost of living in Indy is low but there is an income tax. I'd see him targeting somewhere like Arizona.......

I would think based on that his targets would be Seattle, Tennessee, Tampa, Jacksonville, Houston, and Dallas. Maybe the Raiders if they get the okay to move to Las Vegas.

I didn't realize that Washington state pays no income tax! Given that Seattle is rebuilding their defense I could see him as a key piece in the rebuild.
