Report: Ndamukong Suh’s camp has reached out to Vikings

Do not maintain your breath in the event you’re a Vikings fan hoping to see Ndamukong Suh in purple and gold this season. It is not unattainable, however SKOR North insider Darren Wolfson mentioned Tuesday that “it is simply not near taking place proper this second.”

“There have been new talks,” mentioned Wolfson in an interview with Judd Zulgad and Declan Goff. “My sense is, Judd, these talks have been initiated by Suh’s camp, not by the Vikings.”

Cash seems to be the large subject. Suh, per The Athletic, is in search of not less than $8 million for play this season. The Vikings must squeeze out each dime they should pay him the $2.4 million they should spend, in keeping with Over The Cap, 

“The Vikings should not budging off the veteran minimal,” Wolfson mentioned. “Suh is in search of way over the veteran minimal, so the 2 sides are simply staring one another down. The Vikings should not prepared to budge, Suh not prepared to budge on a minimal provide.”

Wolfson urged that some “cap gymnastics” might assist get a deal accomplished, with the obvious contract restructure being center linebacker Eric Kendricks. However as of now, that is neither right here nor there. 

The Vikings did some roster shuffling on the line of defense final week once they launched Armon Watts and traded with Houston for former second-round decide Ross Blacklock, who’s at the moment listed behind Jonathan Bullard at defensive finish on the “unofficial” depth chart. 

The beginning nostril deal with job belongs to Harrison Phillips, so Suh getting into the fray would give Minnesota some big-time time on the inside of the 3-4 base protection. 

A five-time Professional Bowler, Suh has 70.5 sacks over his 12-year profession and will assist the Vikings on passing downs.
