EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Every day since Giants training camp opened last week, the team has printed a roster of players by number, which includes this line: No. 90, Pierre-Paul, Jason, DE,
6 feet 5, 278 pounds.
Each day, fans attending the workouts arrive wearing Pierre-Paul replica jerseys, a silent tribute to a talented defensive end who was once a linchpin for the team. Pierre-Paul stares out from pictures on the walls of the team’s offices. Reporters quiz Giants players about Pierre-Paul, a teammate in principle but whose continuing absence is the ethereal presence lingering over the grounds.
