One thing the Packers have been good with is being able to structure salaries. If we were to go after and get Suh, because of his history, I would expect his salary to not be at the level JJ got. But even that Watt was under 5million Cap hit this last year though he does jump up to 21 for 2015. And if they would make this move, it is done to win not the next SB, but the next TWO or three. We have our core signed, Rodgers, Nelson, Cobb (soon), Matthews, Shields, Williams (likely soon) Lacy, Peppers. We don't really have any of that core with contracts expiring the next two seasons, Sitton is probably next after 2016.
I think Peppers could have a tremendous positive impact on Suh. So you do this as a long term commitment not a short term rental, give Suh a deal for at least 5 years with 15M SB, and two years worth of somewhat minimal Salary keeping his cap number around 5 million than with a guaranteed Roster Bonus in 2017 that will boost his cap number, because that is about when Rodgers and Matthew will probably be restructuring their deals so some space will be cleared at that time. Perhaps throw in some potential guarantees for years 4 and on if he keeps his nose clean.
If we were to go after a Dlineman, would you want it to be Suh, or Ngata?
