Former Detroit Lions defensive end Ndamukong Suh signed for Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019. He has been an ever-present figure playing under defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. The 34-year old entered free agency this summer on completion of his one-year deal.
However, the reigning Super Bowl champions managed to bring back Suh on another short-term extension. The former Los Angeles Rams man put pen to paper on a one-year deal earlier today.

Veteran defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh re-signs for Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now completed their target of re-signing all the 22 starters from their Super Bowl LV over Kansas City Chiefs. The latest player to join the list was Buccaneers defensive end, Ndamukong Suh. The 5-time Pro Bowler maintained that his plan was always to return and defend the championship title with Tampa Bay.
“Tampa was always the ultimate goal. I’m super-comfortable in that city…I love playing in Coach Bowles’ defense,” Suh said during the press meet.

Suh, along with the likes of Lavonte David, Shaquill Barrett, and Devin White, put in performances of a lifetime in the 9-31 win over the Chiefs. DC Todd Bowles, and HC Bruce Arians, deserve credit for the work they’ve done down south in Florida in the last two years.
Tom Brady will be delighted to see what GM Jason Licht and others have managed to pull off in the last couple of months. Suh, who recently became a father to twins, was a crucial cog in the Bucs’ defense last year.

The Buccaneers have already franchise-tagged WR Chris Godwin ahead of the 2021 NFL season. They need just a few minor tweaks at the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft and they’ll be ready to defend their Championship ring in 2021.
But only time will tell if their 2020 Championship win was a one-time affair. Watch this space for more.
