Veteran Pass-Rusher Jason Pierre-Paul to Join New Orleans Saints
Three-Time Pro Bowler Aims to Boost Saints' Pass Rush in Competitive NFC South
- Veteran pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is set to join the New Orleans Saints, augmenting their pass rush as they look to separate themselves in a competitive NFC South.
- Pierre-Paul, a three-time Pro Bowler and former New York Giants star, has not played this season but has been training intensively in hopes of joining a contender.
- In his 13-year NFL career, Pierre-Paul has 629 tackles, 127 tackles for a loss and 94.5 sacks.
- Last season, Pierre-Paul made 13 starts for the Baltimore Ravens, registering three sacks, 26 tackles (five for loss), three quarterback hits, one interception and five passes defensed.
- The Saints, currently tied for 25th in the NFL with just 18 sacks in 10 games, could use Pierre-Paul's experience and skills to bolster their pass-rushing depth.
