Tampa Bay Buccaaneers: JPP closer to McCoy than Sapp

Jason Pierre-Paul is still a top tier talent in the NFL. That’s why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be paying him $12.5 million in 2018, $14.5 million in 2019, and $12.5 million in 2020. But what are they getting from JPP behind the scenes?

The answer may upset some people.

For years we’ve heard the Gerald McCoy haters scream about how he’s “too nice” and he’s not “close enough to Warren Sapp” as far as his attitude is concerned. To be honest, that’s not really a bad thing. If you look at what that attitude has brought Sapp since his career ended, it’s not a stretch to think he’d be better off if he was more like McCoy rather than the other way around.
