#Bucs DL Ndamukong Suh is expected to re-sign on a 1-year deal worth $8M, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. He wanted to return to play for DC Todd Bowles, and it should be done soon.

Suh was a key member of Tampa Bay's dominant defensive front last season, helping to lead the NFL's top-ranked rushing defense.

His return shores up a key spot in the starting lineup for a Tampa Bay defense that has stayed in tact for the most part this offseason. NFL sack leader Shaq Barrett is back on the franchise tag, while veteran Jason Pierre-Paul was re-signed to a two-year deal.

Todd Bowles returns for another season as the defensive coordinator, and it appears he could have all 11 starters back for the 2020 season, as well.
