Jason Pierre-Paul signs five-year contract
The New York Giants have signed rookie defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, their first-round draft pick (15th overall), to a five-year contract worth $20+ million, per Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News.
Out of the $20,050,000, the guaranteed portion of the contract is $11,629,807.
Houston's Brian Cushing, the 15th overall pick in 2009, received a five-year contract worth $14 million with $10.435 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $18 million.
With the Pierre-Paul signing, there are currently 11 unsigned first-round draft picks.
As pointed out by Evan Silva of Pro Football Talk, Pierre-Paul is a freakish (and acrobatic) athlete with tons of upside.
