Buccaneers Officially Sign OLB Jason Pierre-Paul Among Three Roster Moves

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they have signed LB Nick Jackson to the active roster from the practice squad.

Additionally, the Buccaneers have signed OLB Jason Pierre-Paul to the practice squad. In correspondence, Tampa Bay placed G Ben Bredeson on injured reserve.

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. 

In 2023, Pierre-Paul has appeared in three games for the Dolphins and Saints and recorded two tackles.
