Not sure where to put this. Meh. I will note that Florida has strict fireworks laws so that's good for him.

This ^ is a surprise!! Buc's paid a Big price for JPP, I hope it works for them! My gut says it won't! JMHO!

Tampa with an explosive addition.

JPP single handedly improves their pass rush.

Pity they didn't try harder for Quinn. Getting a third instead of a fourth would have been nice for the Rams.

Not getting Quinn likely forced them to offer more for JPP. But yeah better compensation is always nice.

“Hey JPP. Why so jumpy. Don’t worry. That explosion just happens when we score a touchdown.”

Bucs also received two fingers to be named later.

Not gonna matter. Bucs need to make changes on that coaching staff IMO.

Giants trade Jason Pierre-Paul to Buccaneers in blockbuster trade that shakes up draft
The Giants are a likely candidate to take Bradley Chubb at No. 2 overall now

The Giants and Buccaneers shook the 2018 NFL Draft to its core on Thursday with a blockbuster trade that features Jason Pierre-Paul being shipped from New York to Tampa.

The deal, announced by the two teams, features Tampa Bay giving up a third-round pick (No. 69 overall) and the teams swapping fourth-round picks.

Welcome BACK home to Tampa Bay, @UDWJPP!

This is such a blockbuster move it wildly exceeded our imagination when we fired up a list of veteran trades we could see during the second wave of free agency this morning.
This is a wild trade because the Giants JUST signed JPP to a long-term deal, inking the defensive end last offseason to a big contract. Dave Gettleman is pulling no punches with this roster, though, and appears ready to rebuild as necessary and in all aspects.

It also means it is increasingly likely that the Giants take Bradley Chubb with the No. 2 overall pick. New defensive coordinator James Bettcher is likely to bring a 3-4 heavy defense to New York, which is not a fit for how JPP rushes. He's a traditional 4-3 end. The Giants also get to offload some cash this way, freeing up more than $11 million in cash by moving JPP off their payroll. It's not without financial pain, however, as JPP will result in $15 million in dead money on the cap because of his signing bonus.

The Giants are saving $12.5M in cash in 2018 because the Bucs will be paying Jason Pierre-Paul's $11.25M base salary, $1M in per game roster bonuses & $250,000 workout bonus. The Giants get $2.5M of 2018 salary cap relief. There's $15M in dead money from his $20M signing bonus. https://twitter.com/KennysHawtTakes/status/976826994510966790 …

JPP does fit nicely with the Buccaneers who, according to Schefter, already attempted to trade for Robert Quinn this offseason but came up short when the Dolphins secured the pass rusher from the Rams.

This is a very nice, albeit expensive backup option. JPP can pair with Vinny Curry, who was signed very recently after being released by the Eagles, as pass rushers in Mike Smith's defense, on a line that will be anchored by Gerald McCoy in the middle, and the Buccaneers front four should be vastly improved. Noah Spence is also there, giving Tampa some depth and rotational talent. You need waves of pass rushers in 2018.

Back to Chubb: he can play as a 4-3 end, which he played in college, or as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Chubb is capable of dropping into coverage and is excellent against the run. He's versatile and strong and can move all over the defense. The Giants are very much in play for him with the second overall pick.

In my mind -- and in the mind of CBS Sports NFL Draft Writer Chris Trapasso -- Chubb is the best player in this draft. The Giants control how the first round is going to play out, and it has sounded all along like Gettleman has no interest in trading out of the No. 2 pick. He's eying blue-chip players and knows he might not be able to get them lower.

By standing pat at No. 2, he's all but assured of getting Chubb. Worst case, he dares the Browns to give him his pick of the quarterbacks.

The Jets should feel good about this trade too. If the Browns take a quarterback and the Giants go with Chubb, the Jets will get second pick of the litter and lock down their quarterback of the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wonder why they traded him with a big cap hit. Switching defenses to 3-4. Keeping Eli but, changing defense?

Could they trade the pick and still get Chubb? I think they redo the defense around Chubb but, they could use a boatload of picks.

Just gonna say, how'd they get more for him than Quinn??? Isn't Quinn younger too???
