Ndamukong Suh is the best defensive player in the NFL. As fans of the Detroit Lions, we have spent decades loyally rooting for teams that have continually failed to live up to our expectations. This year, 2014, has been something quite different from the Lions' less than stellar past.

We are finally seeing a Lions team that is building. They are heading in the right direction for once, and it is time for them to become what the fans of this city and this team have always dreamed of. The team is winning games because of the defense, and that defense is led by none other than Ndamukong Suh.

Suh said in interviews Wednesday that his future is in the hands of his agent, Jimmy Sexton. So Jimmy, we as Detroiters are sending out an S.O.S. to Save Our Suh. We need Ndamukong Suh in Detroit. Do the right thing here and get him an extension with the Lions.

To the fans: please sign this petition to let Jimmy Sexton know how important Suh is to this team and this city.
