New York. Jason Pierre-Paul . 13. player. 31. Things are at such a stage for the New York Giants defense that they can ill-afford to just casually cast off proven pass rushers. Even in his deformed state due to the fireworks incident last year, Jason Pierre-Paul is still the best defensive end the team has. There are no guarantees they can replace his production if he departs.

<p>Even in his current condition he has value and the Giants are willing to give him a year to prove it before committing to him long-term. There were signs Pierre-Paul was adjusting to life with the injury even though he only had one sack. General feelings are he’s unlikely to get a big contract elsewhere. His best bet might be to bet on himself by returning to the Giants for a shot at getting that long-term extension he would’ve gotten before the accident.</p>. DE
