Answer
The Miami Dolphins made Ndamukong Suh the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history in 2015 by offering a six-year, $114 million contract with $60 million guaranteed. Suh was coming off a successful stint with the Detroit Lions, where he had established himself as one of the league's top defensive tackles. The Dolphins hoped that Suh's presence would help improve their defense and make them a contender in the AFC East.
