4. Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh took a little less money than what he was being given during the 2019 season, but that still doesn’t change the fact that he’s getting paid quite a bit to be productive on the defensive line.

While Suh became a fan favorite during 2019, the truth of the matter is that his production wasn’t seen on the stat sheet. He did eat up blocks and find ways to stop the run, but the Bucs need more from him this season.

Suh has to be a leader on that defensive line and, the truth of the matter is simple: He may be the difference between an elite defense and a solid defense this season for Tampa Bay.
