Ndamukong Suh: I was close to being a Jet

ATLANTA — If things had gone differently last March, Ndamukong Suh might have ended up with the Jets instead of in the Super Bowl with the Rams.

Suh and the Jets engaged in talks after he was released by the Dolphins. The Jets made Suh an offer but changed their minds and rescinded it a few days later.
