Giants trade DE Jason Pierre-Paul for 2 draft picks
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A person familiar with the deal says the New York Giants have traded defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two draft picks.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because neither team has announced the deal that gets Tampa Bay the former first-round draft pick whose career was interrupted by a fireworks accident in 2015 that severely damaged his right hand.
The Giants will receive Tampa Bay's third-round draft pick this season for Pierre-Paul, who signed a four-year, $62 million deal a year ago. The teams will swap fourth-round picks next year.
The trade was first reported by ESPN.
Pierre-Paul had 68 tackles, eight sacks and two forced fumbles last season. He had 58 career sacks since being draft in the first round in 2010. He helped the Giants win a Super Bowl in the 2011 season.
