The final year of Ndamukong Suh's rookie contract officially voided Friday, and now the Detroit Lions are on the clock to re-sign their all-pro defensive tackle.
The Lions are the only team that can officially talk contract details with Suh until the three-day free agent negotiating period opens March 7, and Suh cannot sign with another team until 4 p.m. March 10.
Lions president Tom Lewand has maintained that he expects Suh to return to the Lions in 2015, saying on WDIV's Flashpoint last week that "there's a very, very good chance that we can get something done with him in the next few weeks" and writing in a letter to season-ticket holders Tuesday about the team's "commitment to keeping our best players."
The team also has told the agent of at least one pending free agent defensive tackle that they expect Suh to return, though the two sides have not yet resumed negotiations after the Lions tabled talks in July.
