Buccaneers add Akiem Hicks, which likely closes the door on Ndamukong Suh
For the Bucs, "Hello, Hicks" likely means, "See ya, Suh."
I know we chucked a lot of money in the Suh well but how about a one-year deal to further bolster the DL?
If they are going to sign another free agent for the money they would need to sign Suh, I would rather they sign Tretter. I know his knees are a huge question mark but he didn’t miss any games in 2021, even though he wasn’t able to practice during the week because of his knees.Buccaneers add Akiem Hicks, which likely closes the door on Ndamukong Suh

Suh's never missed an NFL game due to injury....
I realize that. I just believe he probably wants more money than the Dolphins would be willing to pay him. I also think that a veteran center like Tretter is a bigger need than Suh. My only concern with Tretter is his knees and the fact he is still a free agent is likely because teams in need of a center also are concerned with his knee issues.
I never cared how dirty he was perceived to be. I'd rather have them then be the team that has to play them. They just got younger at the position in TB.
The Bucs just signed Hicks. So I’m not sure why you think the Bucs would resign Suh. If they actually had an interest in signing Suh, they would have signed him and not Hicks.
You don't think there defense could find room for both Suh and Hicks up front? It might be unlikely cost wise, but I don't think it's impossible for players like Hicks, Vita Vea and Suh to co-exist on the same defense if the money issue can be resolved.
Obviously anything is possible but the Bucs don’t have much cap space left to sign Suh and they need to keep some money in case Gronk decides to return next season.
