Giants Re-Sign Jason Pierre-Paul to One Year Deal Worth $10.5 Million

After a tumultuous 2015, the New York Giants and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul were looking forward to moving on from the drama surrounding the former All-Pro. First things first, decide whether or not JPP would stay in New York.

Pierre-Paul ended up turning down more money from possible suitors in the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals to remain with the Giants, a team he has called home since being drafted by them in first round of the 2010 draft. The deal is reportedly only for one year, possibly to see what the pass rusher has left after his fireworks incident.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the following.

Pierre-Paul confirmed the signing on his instagram account.

I would like to thank each and every organization that reached out to my agent during this process especially the Arizona Cardinals . It was hard to decide, but me and my family decided that it's best for me to stay in New York, just being in the NFL is a privilege and I am honored. I am truly blessed to be in this position I am in today, thank you! Now with that said I have some unfinished business to take care of in New York!!! Giants FANS! Let's get to work for the 2016 season because your boy is back and I am not going anywhere! #90PowerCircle #90IsBack
