Jason Pierre-Paul was poised for a monster 2015 season after finishing 2014 the season with 12.5 sacks, 77 total tackles, three forced fumbles and six passes defensed. The Giants could not get him under contract in time so they placed the franchise tag on him.

On July 4 while at his home in Florida, JPP suffered a serious injury to his left hand as the result of a fireworks mishap. He would end up losing his right index finger, a portion of two others and suffering nerve damage and did not begin his season until November.

JPP played the rest of the season with a club on his right hand and essentially was not the same player after that for good reason. He was traded in March of 2018 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
