Defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, who was part of a dominant defensive effort in the Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV victory over Kansas City, announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday. Suh played 13 seasons in the NFL and appeared in a Super Bowl with each of his last three teams, including the Rams in 2018 and the Eagles in 2022.
Suh chose Saturday as the day to make his announcement on social media because it was the one-year anniversary of the death of his father, Michael Suh. Ndamukong referred to his father as, "my idol, my coach, and my anchor."
The second-overall pick in the 2010 draft, Suh played in 199 games with 191 starts for the Lions, Dolphins, Rams, Buccaneers and Eagles. He was the Defensive Rookie of the Year with the Lions in 2010, also earning the first of three first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors. Suh was a second-team All-Pro in two other seasons and was voted into five Pro Bowls.
Suh signed with the Buccaneers in 2019 and spent three seasons in Tampa, starting all 49 games in that span and recording 112 tackles and 14.5 sacks. He had another 18 tackles and 2.0 sacks for the Buccaneers in the postseason. In Super Bowl LV, he led the Buccaneers' defense with 1.5 sack and had five of the team's 23 pressures on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, helping hold Kansas City's powerful offense without a touchdown in a 31-9 win.
Suh's last game was Super Bowl LVII with the Eagles following the 2002 season. He will first be eligible for Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration in 2008.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs will likely be placed on the PUP list to start the 2025 season. The All-Pro recently underwent a procedure on his right knee and is expected to miss Training Camp and the preseason. Players who are Physically Unable to Perform can still participate in team activities other than practice. Unlike players on injured reserve, those on the PUP list are still considered a part of the active roster.
Wirfs made history last season, becoming the first offensive lineman to earn First-team All-Pro honors at both tackle positions during a career. His résumé also includes four Pro Bowl nods and a Super Bowl title, won during his rookie season. The cornerstone of the Bucs' offensive line is expected to return early in the season, aiming to help Tampa Bay chase a record-setting fifth consecutive NFC South title. The Bucs open the season on the road against the Falcons, then head to Houston for a primetime matchup against the Texans before returning home for back-to-back games against the Jets and Eagles.
