Steve Spagnuolo has been in contact with Jason Pierre-Paul a few times this offseason.
"Not as much contact as I would like," the defensive coordinator said.
That's because the star defensive end has yet to sign his franchise tag tender and has not participated in any of the team's offseason programs. He's also not attending this week's mandatory minicamp (which is not mandatory for him since he technically isn't under contract).
"It's really hard when you come in new and you have a player in that situation, you really want to start a rapport and a relationship, a coach-player friendship," Spagnuolo said.
