Nebraska football: Ndamukong Suh slated to visit Raiders on Wednesday
Former Nebraska football star Ndamukong Suh is continuing his free agency tour.
At the current rate former Nebraska football superstar Ndamukong Suh is going, he’s going to visiting every team in the NFL. On Wednesday, the defensive lineman is reportedly visiting the Oakland Raiders.
The visit to Oakland follows trips earlier this week to Tennessee and Los Angeles as Suh attempts to decide where he will play next fall. While there are some who have talked about how the former Dolphin and Lion has seen his production fall off, it’s clear most of the NFL is still quite interested in him.
At first blush, the Raiders appear to be a perfect fit for the former Husker. Suh has always had a bit of a bad boy persona about him.
There have been times when he’s been named a dirty player. It would be hard to find a team that lives up to the persona as “outcasts” better than Oakland (soon to be Las Vegas).

This is especially true now that their head coach is Jon Gruden, a hard-nosed man who has been out of coaching for quite some time. Gruden and Suh seems like quite a match on paper.
For their part, the Oakland media is plenty on board with signing the former Nebraska football star. The problem with any of these fan bases getting too excited is that no one knows when the player is going to decide on a team.
There have long been rumors that Ndamukong Suh is favoring heading to the Seattle Seahawks. The question there is whether or not the team has the cap space, or roster space available for him.
Considering how many trips he has taken so far, it seems likely this free agency tour is going to be wrapping up soon. The added bonus for whatever team signs Ndamukong Suh is that they will be bringing plenty of Nebraska football fans on board as well.
