It’s also worth noting that Pierre-Paul, according to sources, expected the Giants to clear him to play when he was first examined by their team doctors September 7. And judging from Pierre Paul’s Monday afternoon tweet, things seem to have gone well.

Last time around, the Giants brought up the idea of giving him lesser money. If he wants to make anything of this season earnings wise, and prove that he is healthy enough to play, that may be his only option. They can not afford to experiment with Pierre-Paul and see what he is capable of doing at this point in the season.
