Giants Legend Hoping for NFL Comeback
New York won't be adding more high-profile edge rushers anytime soon, perhaps disqualifying itself from late entries into free agency.

That includes Giants legend Jason Pierre-Paul, who told TMZ he is attempting an NFL comeback after his season on the open market.
"I've got abs!" he said. "I haven't had abs since my rookie year. So that's how hard of work I'm putting in."
Pierre-Paul appeared in three games in 2023 between the Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints. In 2022, he found significant playing time with the Baltimore Ravens.
However, his career is more distinctly split into two parts: the eight seasons he spent in New York and the seven seasons after he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Across four seasons with Tampa Bay, he generated 33 sacks, eight forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.

Pierre-Paul made the Pro Bowl in 2020, when he earned 9.5 sacks and won a Super Bowl. He hasn't amassed more than three sacks in a season since.
As a star on the Giants, Pierre-Paul posted two double-digit sack seasons, including a 16.5-sack campaign on the Super Bowl-winning 2011 squad. He remains an esteemed figure in New York's sports history, although his most notable moment might be the fireworks accident that robbed him of 1.5 fingers.
His options will be limited, having not been a productive pass rusher in several years. At 36 years old, he may not even garner real interest at all.
Pierre-Paul would like to play again, but if the football world says goodbye, he can retire with a formidable NFL career to his name.

Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start on Tuesday
CHICAGO (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. Bieber is coming back from Tommy John surgery in April 2024. He had a setback when he experienced soreness during a bullpen session on June 3. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner had a bullpen session in Cleveland on Sunday. Bieber made two starts for the Guardians last year, going 2-0 and striking out 20 in 12 scoreless innings. The right-hander agreed to a $14 million, one-year contract in December that includes a $16 million player option for 2026. Trevor Stephan, another right-hander who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, was hit hard in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Columbus on Sunday. He recorded one out and was charged with four runs and two hits. The Guardians also said infielder Gabriel Arias is expected to start running the bases in the next few days. Arias is coming back from a sprained left ankle. Outfielder Chase DeLauter, one of the team's top prospects, was out of the Columbus lineup again on Sunday. He has been playing through some right wrist soreness, and he had an uptick in symptoms Saturday. The Guardians said the plan is to have DeLauter evaluated to determine a plan for him moving forward. ___ AP baseball:
