What the Jason Pierre-Paul trade means for the Giants’ immediate future

Just when you thought the New York Giants were done making all their moves before the draft, the 67-year-old general manager had another surprise of major proportions in store for the fan base which has suffered through playoff-less seasons in five of the last six years.

Gettleman and the Giants, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, are trading defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul and their 2018 fourth-round pick to the Bucs in exchange for Tampa’s third and fourth picks (No. 69 and 108).

Let that sink in for a moment. The Giants, a team that rarely made any kind of blockbuster trade in recent years, has engineered its second blockbuster deal of the offseason, the first being the deal with the Rams to acquire linebacker Alec Ogletree.
