Lions C Dominic Raiola Thinks Suh "Should Sign the Damned Contract"

Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola thinks first-round defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh should sign his rookie contract and get into training camp, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.

"I haven't even sent him a text or anything, but I'd like to tell him, 'Just sign the damn contract already. You are missing some good things here,'" Raiola said on Tuesday.

"I understand the business side of it, but when you are talking $40 million, $42 million, $43 million, I don't know what the big difference is," Raiola said. "Any way you cut it, after taxes, that's $20 million. So you've got to get that name signed and get out here."

When he signs, Suh is expected to receive around $40 million guaranteed. Raiola, a second-round pick in 2001, is on his third NFL contract, which when combined with his first and second deals, creates a total of $40.1 million.
