If he and Giants sign tender (tag) contract - is it guaranteed or can the Giants cut him and not lose $??
once signed it's guaranteed. I think NFI (non-football injuries) allow them to NOT pay him, but I'm not sure sure.
At this point it's not signed though.
I am pretty sure that since the tender was not signed AND he suffered a non-football injury the Giants can't rescind the tender and be done with JPP. He'd be a free agent able to sign with anyone else.
I think it will be at least a few days before we see what the Giants are going to do here. Much of the decision will be based on the extent of his injuries. I mean, if he is expected to be limited early in the year do you pay him all that money AND deal with all the "talk" regarding the accident?
Given today's NFL, the salary cap, the injury, etc., I think you play this one smart. If JPP will be 100% by day 1 of camp you pay him and let him play out the year. The incident has likely humbled JPP a bit and that may be the silver lining in all of this.
If you cut bait with him someone will likely still sign him to big enough money to get us a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick I'd think? Hard to say right now.
Hoping for good health & JPP's humbleness / gratitude to shine through.

they can rescind the tender no matter what for any reason before it's signed.
RE: RE: RE: A lot of you folks are being very dramatic
like "why would he risk it all over fireworks" or "why not hire a professional." Look, I'm assuming many of you don't live in states where you can buy fireworks and set them off legally. Every since I moved to Utah from New York I've been setting off fireworks. It's fun. I even do it drunk, sometimes very drunk. It's a simple process, you light and run.
I've never hurt myself doing it. I've never seen one of my equally drunk friends hurt themselves doing this. You act like these guys should stay in their houses and train for football non-stop. I think its badass he rented a Uhaul and filled it with fireworks. If I had large amounts of money thats probably exactly what I would do.
For all we know this was a freak accident where a firework exploded weird or early and hit his hand. He could have also been holding it to set it off...which would be dumb. The point is stop being your parents.
If you moved to Utah, you're obviously an idiot :)
Could be worse, not so bad if you're in downtown Salt Lake :-) Where you located?
I retired last year and moved to AZ. But I was in Ogden for 17 years
Saint Barnabas in Livingston has a facility that actually grows
Only if he dresses like this.
Feel bad for the kid, burns are incredibly painful...
