Jason Pierre-Paul
- 28-years-old
- 6-foot-5, 270 pounds
2016 stats (in 12 games with the New York Giants):
- 53 total tackles, 7 sacks, 8 pass deflections
- 3 forced fumbles, 1 touchdown
If he ends up not re-signing with the Giants, Pierre-Paul is expected to command a big-time contract. Spotrac is estimating the defensive end to sign a deal with an average yearly salary of around $14 million.
Obviously he seems to be out of the Vikings price range. But with a few roster moves (especially one having to do with a certain running back), Minnesota could have a little extra money in their pockets to spend on a guy like Pierre-Paul.
The Vikings are likely better off letting another team overpay for the defensive end and spending their money on other areas of their roster that are more in need.
