The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jason Pierre-Paul have agreed to a reworked contract that includes reducing his compensation this season by around $3 million, according to a source.

The portion of his contract for next season was also eliminated.

Pierre-Paul suffered a neck injury in a car accident this past May.

He was placed on the non-football injury list, which means the Buccaneers were not obligated to pay him his full salary of $13.65 million.

Cam Newton took the blame for the Carolina Panthers' 20-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.

He also insisted that his surgically repaired shoulder and recently injured foot were not to blame for his poor performance. Newton had 15 off-target throws, the most since Mitchell Trubisky in Week 7 last season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

"Through my lens, it's hard to look defensive guys in the eyes after a game like this," said Newton, who completed 25 of 51 pass attempts for 333 yards and no touchdowns as the Panthers fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2013. "Offensively, we didn't hold up our end of the bargain.

"All fingers are just pointing back to me specifically on offense."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed safety Andrew Adams.

Adams picked off Cam Newton three times last year. The Buccaneers face off against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night.

The move comes after the Buccaneers placed safety Justin Evans on injured reserve because of an Achilles injury.
