Latest Bucs Headlines
Since Bucs defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was injured in his car accident this summer, there has been speculation as to what Tampa Bay could do with the money they owed him — as his injury was sustained off the football field.
On Wednesday morning we got that question cleared up a bit with the news that Tampa has reworked Pierre-Paul’s deal.
The Bucs and DE Jason Pierre-Paul have agreed to a reworked contract that now expires after this season, per source. The Bucs cleared $4.4M in cap space, while JPP gets $10M+ in pay plus a path to FA in March. A compromise for both sides as JPP continues to rehab his neck.

Per Yates, “Because JPP was on the NFI list, Tampa Bay was not obligated to pay him his salary. Instead, the Bucs give him a chance to make up to $10.5M, with a base value of $5M. JPP gets some security as he works to resume his career.”
The Bucs had approximately $3.5 million in salary cap room before the move and should now have just over $7.9 million in cap space with Pierre-Paul’s restructure.
