Profootballtalk.com is reporting that they have heard rumors that the talks between the Lions and Suh’s agents are moving slowly.
There’s a school of thought that agents Roosevelt Barnes and Eugene Parker are aiming for top-pick money, possibly under Parker’s 2009 theory that No. 10 overall pick Michael Crabtree should have been a top-five selection. Suh was regarded by many as the best player available in the draft, and Barnes and Parker could be arguing that the Rams had no choice but to take quarterback Sam Bradford because: (1) the Rams desperately need a franchise quarterback; and (2) they have dumped too many first-round picks of late into linemen.
Although the Lions report for training camp tomorrow, the first practice isn’t until Saturday afternoon at 3:00. There is a lot of time between now and then.
