Suh was one of the more intriguing options for the tag, because doing so would have meant spending close to $26.9 million to tie him up for the 2015 season with no guarantee of a long-term deal.
The Lions faced such a high number on Suh's franchise-tag option because of contract restructures that left him with a cap number of $22.4 million for the 2014 season, which escalated the tag number to such a high amount.
