Adam Schefter reports that the Buccaneers are re-signing DE Jason Pierre-Paul to a two-year, $27 million deal.
Pierre-Paul, 31, 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 deal that made 2019 the final year of his deal.
He made a total salary of $7,750,000 last season and was set to be an unrestricted free agent.
In 2019, Pierre-Paul appeared in 10 games and recorded 27 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two pass defenses.
