Dead money

[stang233]

So how is it possible the Lions are paying Suh when he left via f.a. Can u pay people for 15 years even they are not on the team. I am confused on this one.

Lions restructured his deal, pushing over $9 million in bonus money into a voidable year. Suh opted out and became a free agent, leaving the Lions with that dead money hit.
