Jason Pierre-Paul, a former first-round pick of the New York Giants, joins the Dolphins after having played 14 years in the NFL amassing 94.5 career sacks and a Super Bowl win.
He took to social media to thank the New Orleans Saints and celebrate his return to his native South Florida.
“I would like to thank the New Orleans Saints and the organization for giving me the opportunity to play for them. I can’t even lie it was a hard decision to make,” Pierre-Paul wrote on his Instagram. “To all the guys in the locker room. I appreciate y’all accepting me as a teammate, and to all the coaches appreciate you guys for believing in me. I’M COMING HOME.”
“You don’t necessarily replace Jaelan Phillips.” Mike McDaniel said on Saturday. “But you can have guys that are fully capable to step up and kind of get his production through different ways.” The former Giant will now be tasked with joining and improving that group of guys.
