The New York Giants prefer to keep Jason Pierre-Paul and have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him. By doing so, any team that signs Pierre-Paul would have to give up two first round picks.

Pierre-Paul is one of the NFL's better pass rushers when healthy.

“They will negotiate to tag him,” a league source familiar with the Giants’ thinking told The Post.

The Giants would prefer a deal that would pay Pierre-Paul in the $11 million-to-$12 million range instead of a whopping $14.6 million for 2015, considering they are $18 million under the cap.
