Jets rescind offer to Ndamukong Suh

You can count the New York Jets out of the Ndamukong Suh race.

Jets owner Christopher Johnson said on Sunday that the team has rescinded its offer to Suh, a free agent defensive lineman. According to SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano, Johnson said that signing Suh did not fit in with the team’s long-term plan.

Johnson said the move “wasn’t in keeping with our long-term plan.” Won’t go into more detail. https://t.co/RHRVG2DpPk

Jets owner Christopher Johnson wasn’t involved when offer to Suh was made. Then he spoke to GM Mike Maccagnan and the offer was pulled … https://t.co/RHRVG2DpPk

The Jets seem more like a team building for the future rather than being in win-now mode, which makes sense why Suh wouldn’t fit in with their long-term plan. But the team had so much cap space after being unable to reel in Kirk Cousins that perhaps their GM was eager to spend it elsewhere, hence the offer to Suh.

Suh had positive visits with the Titans and Saints. And there’s one NFC West team that thinks they have a good shot of landing him.
