Although Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh and his $22.4 million cap number takes up 17 percent of the salary cap, that will not impact the Lions’ wish to go after free agents. “The fact we won’t have an extension done with Ndamukong before free agency begins doesn’t affect that plan one bit,” Lions team president Tom Lewand said. “It doesn’t affect our valuation of the free agents, it doesn’t affect what our projection of our cap situation is going forward, and it doesn’t affect how we project eventually working an extension with Ndamukong out at some point in time.”
