I get that, but when he signs with the Jets or any other non-Rams/Saints team, it’s not out of the question they’d be a playoff team next year either

I'll disagree, Just signing Suh, even with other moves they have made, will not make the Jets a Playoff Contender in 2018! They Suck too much!

They've added a number of players - but their QB situation is still bad. The Eagles won 7 games in 2016, but also had a rookie QB that threw for 3700 yards, so it was reasonable to think that with a few add ons and normal improvement, they could challenge. The Jets won 5 games, but their QB situation is non-threatening, and they aren't exactly powerful anywhere even with the free agent upgrades. Maybe in a year or two, but not now.

Jets are a serious contender to sign DT Ndamukong Suh, does it make sense?
Andy Vasquez

The Jets have a need at pass rusher after cutting Muhammad Wilkerson earlier this year. And they certainly still have more than enough cap space left (around $30 million) to land Suh.

But does it make sense?

Well, it depends.

At his best, Suh can be the most talented and dominant defensive tackle in the NFL. If he plays at a high level, it could change everything for the Jets' defensive line.

It's unclear exactly how Suh will fit into the Jets' 3-4 defense, but coach Todd Bowles and the Jets have reached out to Suh to explain his role according to Yahoo Sports.

We do know that no matter the scheme, offenses can't ignore Suh. They'll have to game plan for him and send double teams his way, or he'll punish their quarterback. That disruption would surely help defensive end Leonard Williams, who is entering his fourth season.

Williams, 23, had only two sacks in 2017, a disappointing follow up to his seven-sack, Pro Bowl season in 2016. But if the Jets bring in Suh, there would certainly be more room to operate and more chances for Williams to get to the quarterback.

The Jets have already made a major upgrade to their secondary, adding cornerback Trumaine Johnson. If they add Suh, the Jets secondary and defensive line could feed off each other, making each unit more effective and putting the Jets in the conversation as one of the league's best defenses.

But there are some major concerns.

Suh doesn't fit into the blueprint of the Jets' rebuilding project, which is now in year two. At 31, Suh is older than the players the Jets have gone after in free agency. And it's unclear how quickly his skills are eroding.

Suh had 36 sacks in his first five seasons with the Lions, including 8.5 in his final year in Detroit. But hes ' never had more than six sacks with the Dolphins after signing a six-year, $114 million deal with the Dolphins in 2015 that made him the highest-paid defensive player in football. The Dolphins cut him after only three seasons to save cap space -- he'll still count $22 million against their salary cap over the next two seasons.

He's also had a history of being difficult to get along with, which could interfere with the Jets' emphasis on building a new and better locker room culture.

It's hard to imagine the Jets signing Suh to anything more than a one-year deal. And the Jets surely know that even bringing Suh on a short-term deal is a risk. But it's one they're willing to accept -- they've already made him an offer.

The question now is if Suh wants to join the Jets.

Suh has already gone on free agent visits with the Rams, Saints and Titans -- all playoff teams in 2017. The Jets won't be regarded as Super Bowl contenders in 2018. Suh, who has played in only three playoff games in his NFL career (two losses with the Lions and one loss with the Dolphins) may take less money for a better shot to win with one of his other suitors.

But if he does come to the Jets, it will certainly be interesting.
