The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh to a deal for the remainder of the 2022 NFL season. Suh had not signed with any team this season despite some interest and there was some speculation he could be done with playing football. Philadelphia views itself as a serious Super Bowl contender and has added depth to bolster to prepare for a run in the 2022 NFL Playoffs. The Eagles’ run defense needed some depth and Suh provides that plus some Super Bowl experience.

Last season as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ndamukong Suh recorded 15 solo tackles, 21 total tackles, six sacks, and one fumble recovery. In the 2021-22 NFL Playoffs he recorded four solo tackles, eight total tackles, 0.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. Suh now has a chance to compete for a Super Bowl with a new team and the Eagles add the depth they wanted on the defensive line.
