Ndamukong Suh is, in all likelihood, going to hit the open market and become a free agent this offseason. The Detroit Lions can end all of this speculation by giving him a contract but that doesn’t seem to be the situation that is going to come to fruition.

Instead, we may see a bidding war for Suh’s talents between two of the teams at the bottom of the NFL looking to rise quickly in 2015.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the Jaguars and Raiders could be major players to acquire Ndamukong Suh this offseason if the Lions allow him to hit the open market.

"Count me among those who believe Jacksonville makes a very strong play for Ndamukong Suh, who is prized to make more money than anyone else in this free agent class.Ditto for Oakland. Expect the Raiders to be in the Suh derby as well."

The Raiders and Jaguars were two of the worst teams in the NFL this year but they both have a plethora of cap space to play with and the desire to instantly improve. They have both shown promise as well, which is enticing to free agents who may not have considered either destination in the past.

Obviously, the Lions control this situation but they may not control it for long. If Suh hits the open market, he’s going to grab the highest contract that he can. Both Oakland and Jacksonville have the money and the desire to sign Suh and that’s something that could happen if he hits the market.

He’s a fit in either team and he’s the type of player that could instantly change their attitude and their standing in the NFL which is why he’s going to get paid the big bucks.
