The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they elevated OLB Jason Pierre-Paul from the practice squad to the active roster and waived LB John Bullock in a corresponding move.
Pierre-Paul, 36, is a former first-round pick of the Giants back in 2010. He played out his rookie contract with New York before agreeing to a four-year, $62 million contract that included $40 million guaranteed.
The Giants later traded Pierre-Paul to the Buccaneers in 2018 for third-and fourth-round picks. Pierre-Paul stood to make base salaries of $13,250,000 (2019) and $11,250,000 (2020) over the remainder of the contract when he agreed to a restructured contract that made 2019 the final year of his deal.
Pierre-Paul returned to the Buccaneers on a two-year, $27 million deal in 2020. He played out that deal and later caught on with the Ravens during the 2022 season.
The Saints signed Pierre-Paul to their practice squad in 2023, but he was signed away by the Dolphins to their active roster. Tampa Bay signed him in December.
In 2025, Pierre-Paul has appeared in two games for the Buccaneers but hasn’t recorded any stats.
