The Lions announced there will be no more negotiations with Suh until after the season ends

This means they are going get a ridiculous $22M+ cap charge for his this season.

There really is no reason for him to spread that money out over a new contract. That money, at least in part, is compensation for his play over the last few years. The Lions act like they're trying to be reasonable, but in truth, they are trying to use the same money to pay a guy twice. Very dirty.
And in their infinite wisdom, Calvin Johnson has a $20M+ hit next year.

I'd guess this all means Suh is gone from the Lions next year. If they wait until after the season, when the injury risk is gone, he won't be 'getting his money early', so there's no reason for him to give a hometown discount. They effectively have a 1 in 32 chance of keeping him.

What a bunch of idiots over there. They have probably the top player at the lowest (non-kicker) paid position in the league, allowing them to keep him as long as he is effective, and they manage to piss it away in a fit of stupidity.
