Wow this was sudden. And yet, I think I felt it coming. JPP has a massive contract, had a poor year last year, and doesn't fit in the new 3-4 base defense. He will be better utilized in Tampa. 

I'm gonna miss him. He was our entire defense in 2011 that led to that Super Bowl win and he is my girlfriend's favorite player. Good luck in Tampa JPP. 

Chubb, welcome to NY.

oh? I didn't realize this was happening.

We hired James Bettcher, former Arizona DC, to be our DC. He utilizes a blitz heavy, attacking, one gap 3-4 base defense. I was wondering where JPP would fit in. Olivier Vernon is better rushing the passer from a 2 point stance than a 3 point stance and is fast enough to play one OLB spot. The closest fit JPP had was as a 5 technique, but even then he is a little undersized for that. Guess the Giants thought the same thing. Given his contract, the compensation is decent.
