He wants to come back next season and help the team go back-to-back and win another Super Bowl. He revealed that he and Tom Brady had a conversation about his future with the team.
“My goal is to come back and have an opportunity to go win another championship,” Suh said. “Me and Tom (Brady) spoke the other day about that opportunity, as well as with Jason Licht.
