Herc Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wednesday, July 8, 2015Giants officials unable to visit Jason Pierre-Paul in hospital ESPN.com news services New York Giants officials have come and gone from South Florida without getting the chance to visit injured defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Pierre-Paul suffered injuries to both of his hands, including severe burns and possible nerve damage, in an accident involving fireworks, sources told ESPN on Sunday. Although the injuries are not believed to be career-threatening, Giants officials traveled to Florida to visit Pierre-Paul in the hospital but never made it out of the waiting room to see him. The Giants did not ask Pierre-Paul whether they could visit him in the hospital. Team officials flew down on their own to check on him and try to determine how extensive his hand injuries were, but those officials were not welcomed once they arrived. Pierre-Paul is technically not under contract with the team as he has not yet signed his one-year franchise tender. The deadline for franchised players to agree to long-term contracts is July 15. If a deal can't be reached by that date, Pierre-Paul would have to play under his $14.8 million tender, unless the Giants decide to withdraw it. Giants officials were unable to visit Jason Pierre-Paul in the hospital. Meanwhile, police in Coral Springs, Florida, are no longer investigating Pierre-Paul after determining his fireworks incident did not take place in their jurisdiction. Although Coral Springs police will not pursue an investigation, Pierre-Paul still could face legal trouble from another jurisdiction in Florida, where fireworks other than those in the sparklers category are illegal without a permit. The injuries stemming from the incident could affect Pierre-Paul's future with the Giants after the pass-rusher enjoyed one of his best seasons as a pro in 2014. The Giants used the franchise tag on the two-time Pro Bowler. There is concern that Pierre-Paul's hand injury could force him to miss training camp and the start of the regular season, one team source told ESPN on Monday, but the Giants are still awaiting more medical answers.

JMFP Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Same old shit with this guy....I remember him hurting his back, and instead of shutting him down, the Giants let him play at 60% effectiveness. Instead of getting surgery immediately after the season, he waited until the start of training camp. Between this player, and this team, just so many dumb moves.

Herc Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 i always get really annoyed when these guys don't get surgery right away too. sometimes there's a good reason, but sometimes these guys just don't want to rehab and recover during vacation time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Look at the breakdown of Suh's deal. it's essentially a 3 year contract and he can be cut in year 4. Without jpp the Giants could have afforded him easily. Suh is a legit stud. He would have made our interior dl absolutely sick and helped out the ends by getting double and triple teamed.... which would also have a cascade effect on the rest if the D. Jpp is a one trick pony who hasn't done jack in yearsExactly what I was going to say. You have to break it down year by year and doing it that way it would only cost roughly $6 million more per year for Suh. Suh only gets $985,000 next year and the contract is backloaded through the last three years when he can be cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I don't care if he plays sooner than expected, the man is missing an index finger now! I can't imagine that it doesn't impact his ability to tackle and rush the passer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastershake Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Ronnie Lott tore the top of his finger off. He was a decent tackler. Safeties don't have to engage and use their hands like DL do though... that's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My big thing is why has he been so secretive with the Giants? i'd guess that it has something to do with his contract situation/franchise tag but it's not like he rushed to go sign that tender. guess he wants to know everything before they do in case it gives him some kind of advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikmak Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How the hell did ESPN get a copy of the medical report? Unless JPP gave it to them this is going to get stinky and you can bet someone's ass is getting sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 this may be getting way ahead here, but since you set on your right hand on the right side, do you think maybe this forces a move to the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Jessie Armstead is the Giants official they sent. This guy hire armed security? I think if Armstead wanted to make his way through to see JPP, He would make his way through to see JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balloonknot Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I wonder if he's trying to keep the Giants at bay so they don't see how injured his hand really is and may rescind the franchise tag before he has a chance to sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
