Jason Pierre-Paul and the New York Giants are apparently moving closer to a resolution of the conflict between the two sides resulting from injuries sustained by Pierre-Paul in Fourth of July fireworks mishap. Dan Graziano of ESPN reported earlier Tuesday that the two sides "are in talks about a one-year, incentive-laden deal."
The Giants, of course, had placed the franchise tag tender on Pierre-Paul, worth $14.8 million, prior to the July 4 accident that cost Pierre-Paul his right index finger and mangled the remaining part of his hand. The pro-rated portion of the franchise tag, which Pierre-Paul has not signed, is approximately $8.
