“Very pleasant surprise,” Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “I guess I wasn’t expecting JPP to be the practice player and the leader that he’s been so far. Really fired up about it. Sometimes a guy that’s got his pedigree comes in and is looking for way out of drills and that’s not him at all.”
Pierre-Paul “routinely” beat Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan during a joint practice with the Titans, according to Stroud.
Pierre-Paul, who attended South Florida, has 58.5 sacks in eight seasons, but he has not had a double-digit sack season since 2014. He made 8.5 sacks last season.
The Bucs, though, expect Pierre-Paul to contribute in a big way both on the field and off.
“Him being in Tampa where he grew up is really important to him,” quarterback Jameis Winston said. “You can tell that he really loves football and being a great veteran guy Jonathan Marchessault Jersey , we look up to guys like that and we love his tenacity and enthusiasm, bringing it from the Giants.”
The Cowboys repeatedly have said they are prepared to pay Dak Prescott “what he deserves.” A fourth-round pick in 2016, the quarterback is eligible for a new deal after this season.
Prescott, though, is switching agents before negotiations begin.
Prescott has hired Todd France and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), leaving Jeff Guerriero of ProSource Sports, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Prescott must notify his agent and wait five days before registering the move with the NFLPA to make it official, per Hill.
Prescott signed a four-year, $2.7 million deal after the Cowboys selected him. He will make a $630,000 base salary this season Ty Montgomery Jersey , ranking only 64th. Prescott makes more in endorsements than he does playing football.
While he may not get the five-year, $150 million contract extension Matt Ryan did earlier this offseason, Prescott is more accomplished than Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers signed Garoppolo to a five-year deal worth up to $137.5 million.
Prescott, 24, has a 22-10 record in two seasons, with 6,991 yards, 45 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
