1. Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh wants to stay in Tampa Bay and the Buccaneers want him to stay, as well.

So what’s the problem? Well, there’s the issue of money.

Suh made $9.25 million on a one-year contract last season with Tampa Bay and will likely be looking for a raise this season. There have been several organizations reportedly interested in Suh and some analysts have even speculated that he could receive a contract upwards of $13 million for another season.

The Buccaneers are going to be tasked with re-signing Shaquil Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, filling out a roster and finding out what to do with the quarterback situation- which will likely cost upwards of $20 million.

Next. Why the Bucs should sell-out to signing Tom Brady. dark

If Suh isn’t willing to take a pay cut of some kind, the Buccaneers may have no other choice than to look elsewhere to stay under the cap and make the most of their assets.
