Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jason Pierre-Paul receives extension

The Buccaneers have certainly not been the most active team on the first day of the legal tampering period but they have addressed two of their most important players: edge rushers Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.

Pierre-Paul led the Buccaneers in sacks in 2018 and finished in second only to Shaquil Barrett in 2019.

Tampa Bay had gone without a dominant pass rush for several years before JPP and Barrett were able to step up at their positions. The Bucs knew they needed to keep both of these players even if they would require substantial salaries.
