According to Jeremy Fowler, the Cowboys are exploring their options on the veteran pass rusher market and one name that has come up is former Buccaneers OLB Jason Pierre-Paul.
Dallas signed DE Dante Fowler last week but still needs help at the position after losing DE Randy Gregory to the Broncos.
Pierre-Paul is getting up there in age and played through a shoulder injury in 2021. However, he had it surgically repaired this offseason and plans to keep playing.
Pierre-Paul, 33, 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’s an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
In 2021, Pierre-Paul appeared in 12 games and recorded 31 total tackles, three tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and four pass defenses.
