It has been two years since two-time Super Bowl champion Jason Pierre-Paul played in an NFL game. He is close to appearing in one in the 2025 NFL season, as he has worked out a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a reunion , according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

"Reunion: Veteran edge Jason Pierre-Paul is signing with the #Bucs practice squad after working out today, his agents @iangrutman and @david_benzaken of @gseworldwide told The Insiders. Back on the field at age 36," wrote Rapoport in a social media post via X, formerly Twitter.
Pierre-Paul last saw action in the NFL back in the 2024 NFL season with the New Orleans Pelicans and the Miami Dolphins , though he only appeared in three games and recorded zero sacks to go with two combined tackles. He also played in the 2022 NFL season with the Baltimore Ravens , with whom he last had a regular role, having appeared in 14 games with 13 starts, while tallying 3.0 sacks, five passes defended, 26 combined tackles and three quarterback hits.
A three-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All-Pro, Pierre-Paul will always be remembered for his time with the New York Giants and the Buccaneers. He won his Super Bowl rings with the Giants and spent four seasons during his initial tenure with Tampa Bay . From the 2018 season to the 2021 campaign, the former first-round pick by the Giants in the 2010 NFL Draft had 33.0 sacks and 171 total tackles with the Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay's move to reunite with Pierre-Paul, who will turn 37 in January, came on the heels of the team's alarming slide . The Buccaneers are still atop the NFC South standings with a 7-6 record, but they also share the same record with the Carolina Panthers , who currently lose the tiebreaker with Tampa Bay based on win percentage in common games.
