Could the Raiders repeat history by acquiring Suh?

Greetings fellow Raider fans. This is my first time writing pretty much anything on this blog site, but have been an avid reader and fan for some years now. But I thought it was the perfect time to finally communicate with fellow members of the nation. This off season we really have a perfect chance to do something special. We have a chance barring any news this coming week to have a chance to sign Ndamukong Suh. Given this momentous opportunity, it reminds me of another offseason in which the Green Bay Packers signed a then future hall of famer in Reggie White. In 1993 White became a free agent from the Philadelphia Eagles, where he then signed with the Packers and played for 6 seasons notching 68.5 career sacks in aPackers uniform. In 1994 his first season as a Packer and Brett Favre's second season playing all 16 games much like our new quarterback Derek Carr has the prospect of accomplishing. That year the Packers would finish with a 9-7 record which was good enough for second in the NFC Central division. This was also the last year The Packers would play at the Milwaukee County Stadium and begin their full time residence at Lambeau Field. Possibly an omen for our current situation at O.co Coliseum? We'll soon find out. I digress, In the 1997 Reggie White and the Packers would go on to win Super Bowl XXXI. They appeared in the the following Super Bowl, but lost to the Donkeys, although that year Reggie did win defensive player of the year honors. With all this being send, although in the early 90's the Packers were a decent team, they were finally able to reach the upper echelon of the NFL once they acquired White in free agency. This off season we may have the opportunity to acquire in my opinion this generations Reggie White in Ndamukong Suh, to finally commence our new commitment to excellence. What do you say Raider Nation, should Suh be a Raider? Let me hear you thoughts.
