The returns on Ndamukong Suh's $114 million contract have, so far, been pretty uninspiring.
The Miami Dolphins gave the All-Pro defensive tackle a huge contract in the offseason, but Suh's yet to show his worth through two games. The Dolphins have been average at best, and Suh's yet to record a sack through two games.
He's also reportedly already starting to create some issues within the team. The Miami Herald reported Monday that Suh at times Sunday was ignoring the defensive playcall and doing his own thing.
"Suh, who for the second straight week was a nonfactor, strayed from Kevin Coyle's script," the Herald's Adam H. Beasley wrote.
"The Miami Herald has learned that Suh freelanced at times Sunday, creating confusion on the defense," Beasley continued. "By taking matters into his own hands, the Dolphins' $114 million took a bad situation and made it worse."
The Dolphins' addition of Suh was a big reason for optimism entering the 2015 season, as the defense was expected to be one of the team's strengths. Instead, the Dolphins have allowed 372.5 yards per game against two teams, the Washington Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars, who aren't known for their offensive prowess.
