    I'd be happy with that.

    You don't even make sense. 3-4 DE is not all that different from a 4-3 DT. He is explosive, and a playmaker. That won't change based on making the change. He is not a big slow guy, he was a pretty lean DT. He is 6-4 305, where Casey is 6'1-305. Suh is more athletic than Casey. I really struggle to grasp why you think it is such a risk.

    I think there is little risk in that he is so talented. There is going to always be some risk giving out a big contract, and I wouldn't want him for 100M. But, this guy can play 3-4 DE no doubt. You don't even give reasons as to why you don't think he can play the position. That might help your argument.

    I would like to get McCourty, Williams, Worilds, etc. Not that it is that or bust, but those would be my top guys. The 3 you mentioned would be good, but hopefully we could get more than that. Not sure if you mean we would get more or not.

    I think that has been known for awhile. I believe he said that at the end of the season.

    I mean... that's stretching the truth. Suh is a very specific type of 4-3 DT. He's an interior penetrator. I think it's extremely likely he will want to remain in a very similar scheme. The Titans are not particularly similar.

    That doesn't mean the Titans can't change the scheme to suit Suh, but I'll be very surprised if he goes to a 3-4 team. In fact, I'll be surprised if any 3-4 teams are even seriously in the running to sign him. They'll know that Suh knows what's best for him.

    The teams rumored to want him most (Raiders, Jaguars, Dolphins) are all much better fits.

    I never said he would want to play in a 3-4, I just believe he would be just as effective in a 3-4. I don't think he is that specific. He is just a freak. JMO

    Suh likes to shoot the inside gaps, we send our DE's thru there on stunts often, he'd still be able to do what he does from the 5 spot.

    He may or may not care about that little detail, we wont know til he signs I guess.

    I agree. He can play that spot. The questions is, would he want to? Now if we get him to play NT, that would be dumb. That is the only reason I could see people not liking the idea of him playing here.

    My honest bet, Suh ends up in Jacksonville. Khan will offer him some type of insane money like 6y/$110m.

    That's alright though, for $110m we can sign McCourty, Dan Williams, Worilds, and Ingram.
