The New York Giants have reached agreement with defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul on a contract for the remainder of this season, a source confirmed, bringing resolution to an ordeal that began when he severely damaged his hand in a July 4 fireworks accident.
Sources with knowledge of the situation said Pierre-Paul's deal is heavy on incentives tied to how much of the remainder of this season he's able to play. Since he has not practiced with the team since last season (he skipped the offseason program in protest of the team not signing him to a long-term contract), the Giants aren't yet ready to put him on the field.
