GM Jerry Reese on JPP, cap space & more

Skeptics have questioned whether Jason Pierre-Paul can still play at a Pro Bowl level after he finished the 2015 season with one sack in eight games. Giants general manager Jerry Reese today said the number of games JPP played deserves more scrutiny than the sack total.

Pierre-Paul missed the first half of the season recuperating from a July 4 fireworks accident that cost him his right index finger and parts of two others. But he returned to start the final eight games. In addition to his sack, he had 26 tackle (21 solo), six passes defensed, and two fumble recoveries.
