Ndamukong Suh is ready to run it back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The impending free agent said he wants to return to Tampa Bay for a chance to add another Super Bowl ring to his resume.

"My goal is to come back and have an opportunity to go win another championship," the defensive lineman told Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.

Suh continued: "Me and Tom (Brady) spoke the other day about that opportunity, as well as with (general manager) Jason Licht. I don't know if you saw our parade celebration on that podium, coach (Bruce Arians) said I'm not going anywhere. And he's usually a man of his word. So, I look forward to the opportunity to continue to play, especially for Tampa."

Licht said he told Suh he'd like to have him back in 2021.

"I know that there's mutual respect for each other ... We'll have to see how it all shakes out, but he's definitely one that we want back," Licht said last week on the Pewter Report podcast, per Pro Football Talk's Charean Williams.

Suh, 34, has started every game since signing with the Buccaneers two seasons ago. He recorded six sacks in 2020, his most since the 2015 campaign.

Chris Godwin, Shaquil Barrett, and Lavonte David are among Tampa Bay's other impending free agents.
