Ndamukong Suh the American 28 years old football defensive tackle is going to sign for about $114 million over six years with $60 million guaranteed as Chris Mortensen said.

He attended the University of Nebraska and played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team from 2005 to 2009.

Suh cleared that nothing going to be official until tuesday but the surprise will be when Sue get about $60 million while Teams and players have been allowed to negotiate since Saturday. Rumors of the Dolphins being Suh’s destination have been floating about before then and The detroit Free Press obvious that the Lions offered $17 million per year with $58 million guaranteed, but that was trumped by Miami by about $2 million per year.

It turns out that Sue is really not hitting the open market at all although he was considered to be the best defensive free agents to hit the open market.

Suh’s massive salary in 2014 made the move incredibly expensive and the Lions could use the franchise tag on Suh. The Lions had dead money on the 2015 books for Suh, in the amount of $9.7 million, so he would have been owed a 120 percent of his 2014 salary, putting his 2015 cost at just over $25 million.

The San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raider are still in negotiations over their current locations and they both confirmed that they could share a new stadium in the Los Angeles if they didn’t reach to a solution over current venue.

The Chargers’ owner Alex Spanos and the Raiders’ John J Fisher and Lew Wolff struggled for years to reach deals on new local stadiums, however they showed their readiness to move to Los Angeles, which does not have an NFL team of its own.

“For the remainder of 2015, we intend to move down two tracks simultaneously,” the statement said. “On track one, we will continue to work in our home markets to find permanent stadium solutions that are publicly acceptable.

“On track two, we will work in Carson to preserve our options and the future economic viability of our franchises, in the event that our efforts in our local markets fail,” it added.

if the move happened actually, it would have to be approved by three-quarters of the league’s owners.

as a response to this statement, a group called Carson2gether posted a video on YouTube of the proposed stadium, which the Los Angeles Times reported will cost an estimated $1.7bn and would be built on a 168-acre site.

Now, The Chargers play at Qualcomm Stadium while The Raiders play in the O.co Coliseum.
