ESPN Insider article lists Jets as a team that may be after Suh. Again, dont shoot the messenger, how they could list us with our current dline, no GM, and no idea if we'll play 4-3 or 3-4 is beyond me, but here's the article:

Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has one more year remaining on his contract with the Detroit Lions, but he is expected to invoke an option to get out of the deal and test the free-agent market during the offseason.
Predictably, he is expected to get plenty of interest from deep-pocketed suitors.
"The sources told Yahoo Sports there could be as many as 10 teams interested in making titanic pitches to Suh," wrote Charles Robinson.
"Among those in play, the sources said, if Suh hits the open market? The Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders – the three teams expected to have the most cash to spend in free agency.
"The New York Jets were also expected to show interest ... The Falcons were also named as a team that is expected to be interested ..."
Robinson cited other sources who said that the Lions are "keeping the [franchise tag] option on the table," despite a monster cost of $26.7 million for 2015.
Surely, this is the biggest offseason maneuver upon which the Lions will have to act during the offseason, but it's not the only defensive tackle contract they will have to address:

Suh decision looms for Lions
"Reports before the season suggested the Lions and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh were preparing for a divorce following the season. Suh is signed through 2015, but he can void the final year of the deal. Using the franchise tag would cost the team roughly $27 million in cash and salary-cap space in 2015. Suh's contract would count $9.7 million against the cap in 2015 even if the team does not re-sign him, thanks to a pattern of renegotiation that has pushed cap damages into the future. Is there a realistic way to keep him? Defensive tackles Nick Fairley and C.J. Mosley can also become free agents. Bottom line: This position will be central to the Lions' offseason."
