New Orleans is adding a veteran pass-rushing presence, along with some Super Bowl experience.<\/p>\n
Three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul\u00a0is signing with the Saints practice squad, per Thursday’s league transaction wire.<\/p>\n
Pierre-Paul visited with the Saints on Monday and is staying put in the Bayou, aiming to spark a so-far sub-par pass rush.<\/p>\n
New Orleans has just 18 sacks in 2023.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old was a 2010 first-round pick of the New York Giants who played eight seasons in New York, four with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and last year with the Baltimore Ravens. Pierre-Paul won a Super Bowl apiece with the Giants and Bucs.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Pierre-Paul signed with the Ravens a couple games into the season and wound up starting 13, producing three sacks and 26 tackles.<\/p>\n
Pierre-Paul figures to mesh with an already veteran-laden defense, but whether he can improve New Orleans’ pass-rushing numbers remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
