Suggs has played for the Ravens for the first 16 years of his career, but it appears that the future Hall of Famer, known by his nickname “T-Sizzle,” will finish his career in the desert. (RELATED: Jacksonville Jaguars Sign Nick Foles, Contract Worth Up To $102 Million)
And what a fitting end to a career it will be! Suggs was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona, and played college ball at Arizona State. (RELATED: Legendary Football Coach Has Golden Quote After Losing A Game. Do You Agree With Him?)

While it’s always cool to see great players spend their entire career with one team, it’s even cooler to see players play in their hometown.
And while I’ve never cared much for Suggs’ antics, he will no doubt be a fan favorite in Arizona, while providing some veteran leadership to a rebuilding franchise. This is a solid pickup for new head coach Kliff Kingsbury and the organization.
