Another blockbuster trade: Giants trading DE Jason Pierre-Paul and a 2018 fourth-round pick to Buccaneers for a 2018 third-round pick and a fourth-round pick, source tells ESPN. Per Schefter
That was not going to be a good contract for us. I wish we traded earlier in FA, could have gotten some better guys.
Plus with the move to a 3-4 he just didn't fit. Chubb too is not a 3-4 guy. One of the benefits of running a 3-4 is we can get tweeners later in the draft and we just signed a bunch of guys. TB looks better with the move.

So the Giants get No. 69 overall from the Bucs. Now have No. 66 and 69 in the third round. And they gave up No. 102 overall in exchange for No. 108 overall in the fourth round
our GM has been busy!
We're the ones going to be hit with the singing bonus.
Not at #2. So possible trade down.
Now we have a glaring hole at RDE.

The #Bucs give up a third-round pick and swap fourth round picks with the #Giants in exchange for JPP. A whole new world with the #Giants.
Actually, I'm pretty sure we're going to take a big cap hit.

Makes more sense now that we are interested in Chubb. We couldn't tie so much money up with 3 DE's like that.
I bet we move down to 4. Cleveland can get their QB and RB 1 and 2.

So #NYG trade JPP for a 3rd.
the OLB are going to be vernon and martin no? If the plan was to draft Chubb at 2, why sign martin to the deal that they did?

Live cap would have been 12.5.
Dead cap is 11.25
Small saving indeed but not an actual hit.
Doubt it. Chubb is not. 3-4 DE and All signs are that Giants are switching to 3-4.
I think it was just a salary dump. JPP is not a 3-4 DE either and really had no place on the team that could justify his salary
According to overthecap's calculator: we save $1,945,000
how so? It just means we are officially moving to a 3-4 and JPP is a prototype 4-3 DE...
I never complain when you take a big salary and exchange it for even a limited asset in return.
I did question whether JPP could play 3-4 end. He seeems too long for that role. This seems to confirm it.
I'm happy we have Vernon here. We need him more than ever and I suspect he's much better served for the 3-4 edge rusher than JPP was.
