Report: Suh finalizing 1-year, $9M deal to return to Bucs

Ndamukong Suh is running it back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The veteran defensive lineman is closing in on a one-year deal worth $9 million fully guaranteed with the Buccaneers, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The contract can reach as high as $10 million with incentives, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Suh has spent each of his last two seasons in Tampa Bay and has been an instrumental part of the team's pass rush. He's started all 32 games, recording 8.5 sacks and 33 quarterback hits.

He notched six sacks during the 2020 season, his most since 2015.

Suh expressed his desire to return to the Buccaneers before the kickoff of free agency in hopes of winning another championship.

The 34-year-old is just the latest member of the championship team to be brought back for the 2021 season. The Buccaneers franchise tagged Chris Godwin while also signing Shaquil Barrett and Lavonte David to long-term deals. Rob Gronkowski was also retained on a one-year deal.
