Jason Pierre-Paul has not yet signed his one-year franchise tender in hopes of working out a long-term deal with the New York Giants. Now that he reportedly injured his hand in a fireworks mishap on the 4th of July, could that decision come back to haunt the star defensive end?
As Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk notes, the Giants are within their rights to withdraw the franchise tender, which is worth $14.8 million for one season. Article 10, Section 2(d) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement contains a clause that says the franchise offer can be rescinded at any time.
