The Facts: The worst-kept secret in South Beach became official on Wednesday. Suh is officially signing his contract with the Miami Dolphins. The deal will make him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday the Dolphins were prepared to give Suh a six-year, $114 million contract, with $60 million guaranteed.

Diehards Line: Suh's per-year average places him among the top-paid quarterbacks. It's unknown why the move was delayed with free agency opening Tuesday, but Suh always looked ticketed for Miami. Playing alongside a fellow Pro Bowl player in Cameron Wake, Suh will provide Miami an overwhelming strength in their effort to overtake Tom Brady and the Patriots in the AFC East. It's clear the Dolphins' brass believes paying huge money for game-changing talent is the only way to reshuffle the deck. For Suh, he's trading a defense that was dominant last season for one that could be even more explosive -- Brent Grimes is the lock-down corner the tackle never enjoyed in Detroit.
