The Detroit Lions are off to a great start and host the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 action this Sunday, but the main focus has been on the belief that Ndamukong Suh will bolt the franchise through free agency when the current campaign is said and done.
Suh was reportedly asked multiple times about his future intentions amid rumors that he will leave Detroit and is interested in playing in New York or somewhere else, but the defensive end would not elaborate on his future plans.
"I cannot address that just for the simple fact that I have not spoken to any reporter about it or any reporters about supposedly what has come out," Suh said before eventually walking out on the session and slamming a door behind him, according to ESPN.
Suh is on the final year of his rookie contract and is slated to become a free agent in March. Suh and the Lions tabled discussions on an extension after the two sides couldn't come to terms in training camp.
Suh, who recently signed with Roc Nation, refused to answer any questions that weren't related to Detroit's upcoming matchup with the Bills.
"Looking forward to playing against Buffalo," Suh said. "It's as simple as that. If you have Buffalo questions, we can continue to talk. If not, we don't have much to discuss."
Lions coach Jim Caldwell told reporters he "wouldn't go down that road" when asked if he thought that the Lions shouldn't have tabled talks with Suh and said the team preaches for players to just be honest.
"What we try and breed is authenticity," Caldwell said. "There's nothing wrong with a guy that demonstrates whatever feelings he might have under any circumstances as long as it is not detrimental to the team."
The Lions (3-1) are in first place in the NFC North and host a Bills (2-2) team that is in a three-way tie for first place in the AFC East on Sunday at Ford Field.
Suh, 27, was drafted No. 2 overall by Detroit in the 2010 NFL Draft and has 194 tackles and 28.5 sacks in 66 games with the Lions.
