Detroit-area billboards have some message for Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh is about to get paid. A lot.

The Detroit Lions defensive tackle is less than a week from hitting free agency, if he chooses not to re-sign with the Lions before then, and he could get the most guaranteed money for a defensive player in NFL history. That has led to "$uh" being used on Twitter, and that has turned into a billboard around Detroit.

The Detroit Free Press said several digital billboards have popped up around the Detroit and Grand Rapids areas with the simple message "$uh?"

What does this ambiguous message mean? Et tu Suh?

Maybe it's meant to read that Suh is just interested in the money and not the loyalty to the Lions, but, well, duh. He has earned the right to hit free agency in his prime, and the Lions declined to use the hefty franchise tag on him. Or maybe it's a message to the Lions to pay Suh. You'd think if a fan base is spending that much on some digital billboards that they'd want to clear that up.

This will not be the first or last message directed at Suh, one of the most coveted unrestricted free agents in NFL history. It'll be tough to top Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee's tweet at Suh, however.

All the chatter over the next few days won't change one outcome: No matter who Suh ($uh, if you prefer) signs with, it'll be for a historic amount of cash.
