Ndamukong Suh says he was worth more than Matthew Stafford when the two were in Detroit, but he got "the short end of the stick."

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been hit with a big setback ahead of what could be his final NFL season.

Ndamukong Suh and Matthew Stafford hold the claim of beloved Detroit Lions who became Los Angeles Rams. Suh, however, turned heads with a subtle jab at his former quarterback Wednesday. Suh earned a massive amount of dollars in his career: $168 million in total.

One of the better defensive linemen in not only recent Lions history, but recent NFL history, Ndamukong Suh recently announced his retirement after 13 seasons, having been out of the league since playing part of the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Former NFL defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said Tuesday that he believed the Detroit Lions should have paid him more than teammate Matthew Stafford to retain him during his 2015 free agency.

Former Detroit Lions All-Pro Ndamukong Suh doesn't think his pay matched hs important to the Lions during his time with the team.

Recently, Suh said on his Facebook page that Detroit should have paid him more than Stafford when he was up for his first contract extension. Stafford and Johnson signed lucrative extensions in the years leading up to Suh's first free agency, which left the Lions with a tough decision.

“Detroit, in my opinion, when I first came out, really gave me the short end of the stick. I should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford,” Suh said. “They didn’t value me enough, to say, ‘Hey, you’re not going to get paid more than our quarterback.’”
