Jason Pierre-Paul doesn't know what will happen after this Sunday's regular-season finale, Ohm Youngmisuk, ESPN New York.
Could it be his last game as a Giant? JPP wants to remain a Giant for life and get paid like an elite pass rusher if he has his way. But the defensive end knows anything could happen once he's eligible for free agency this offseason.
One thing Pierre-Paul does seem certain of is his worth on the market.
"I think I am worth a lot of money," Pierre-Paul said when asked what he thinks he's worth. "What do you think?"
The Giants and their 2010 first-round pick will find out in time. Pierre-Paul, who turns 26 on New Year's day, has 10.5 sacks going into Sunday's finale against the Eagles. That's his most since his breakout season in 2011 when he collected 16.5 sacks.
"I don't know what my future holds," Pierre-Paul said. "Who knows if I am going to be in a Giant uniform, who knows where I am going to be in the offseason. Like I said, now, the numbers are there, I had a great season, and everybody sees it. There really is nothing else to say, just negotiations and it is coming."
Pierre-Paul would like to remain a Giant but he also has seen several good friends and teammates who said the same thing end up elsewhere.
"I'd love to be a Giant for the rest of my career," Pierre-Paul said. "But at the end of the day, it doesn't always fold like that. Look at (Justin) Tuck, look at Osi (Umenyiora), look at Brandon Jacobs. It doesn't matter."
