A quarter of the way through the season, the Detroit Lions are preparing to lose free-agent-to-be Ndamukong Suh and he is preparing to move on as well, according to league sources.

And with Suh in New York on Sunday to play against the Jets, it could be a prelude of what's to come.

Suh has told people in the past that he would love to play in New York, and the idea of it has huge appeal to him, league sources said.

If he were to take his talents to New York, either to the Jets or Giants, Suh knows how much it would mean for his brand and his profile, and it is something that if he hits the free-agent market this winter, when his contract is up, he will explore.

The Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys also would have some level of interest in signing Suh.
