Former Bucs Super Bowl champion signs with New Orleans Saints

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to see Jason Pierre-Paul again — just not in the way they were probably hoping to.

NFL insider Josina Anderson reported on Tuesday that Pierre-Paul is set to sign with the New Orleans Saints after a tryout, brining him back to the NFC South. This time, though, he’ll be playing against the Bucs, and he’ll see his former team on New Year’s Eve when the two face off again.

Pierre-Paul was a force in Tampa Bay, netting 124 solo tackles, 33 sacks, eight forced fumbles and two interceptions during his time with the Bucs. He was a big part of the team’s Super Bowl run, netting two sacks and 10 total tackles in the four games in 2020 that ended in Tampa Bay taking home the Lombardi. Since then, he had a stint with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 where he managed three sacks and 26 total tackles.
