The New York Giants are trading DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are sending a 3rd round pick and a 4th round pick to the Giants for Pierre-Paul and the Giants’ 4th round selections. The 3rd rounder is #69 overall, while the Bucs actually move up in the 4th round from #108 to #102. 

The Bucs' biggest need this offseason was upgraded their pass rush and JPP helps that in a big way. He joins Vinny Curry on a new-look Bucs' defensive line. Pierre-Paul will carry a $12.5 million cap hit for the Bucs. 

The Giants are moving to a 3-4 scheme and felt Pierre-Paul did not fit. Olivier Vernon and Kareem Martin are the top two edge rushers for the Giants, so they could take another one year. Trading Pierre-Paul actually saves very little cap space for the Giants this year, at just $2.5 million. But, it does free up future cap space as studs like Landon Collins and Odell Beckham Jr. approach free agency.
