Oakland Raiders fans have long been in a tizzy over the idea of the team luring Ndamukong Suh in free agency.

The Raiders have a surplus of salary-cap room and the Suh, the Detroit Lions' star defensive tackle, would be a wonderful on-field fit for the Raiders.

Whether or not the Raiders -- who have yet to show they will spend big -- will actually be players for Suh is another thing. However, Oakland fans aren’t the only ones talking about it. Some of the team’s most influential defensive players are talking up the idea as well.

Safety Charles Woodson, one of the team's leaders, told ESPN.com this about the idea of Suh joining the Raiders: “That guy is one of the best, overall, period in the NFL ... Would I like him on our team? Believe it.”

Appearing at the Super Bowl, Oakland defensive end Justin Tuck was even more expansive in the idea of teaming with Suh.

"(He's) Raider-ish," Tuck said. "And that's one of the reasons why I know Raider Nation would applaud that move, beyond the fact that he's an awesome football player. He kind of fits the mold of ... the toughness and the ferocious player that built the Oakland Raiders ... I know Raider Nation would love to have him. I think Detroit would love to keep him, but hopefully it works out for us and I get an opportunity to play with that guy, because it would be phenomenal for what we're trying to build in Oakland."

Again, Woodson and Tuck’s words mean little. It will come down to dollars, cents and mutual desire. But it’s fascinating that two of the team’s biggest names appear to be caught up in Suh mania as much as the Oakland fanbase.
