#157 of 347 LBs
FCA+
How Jason Pierre-Paul plays at LB earns him a D performance grade. At 37 years old with 15 seasons under his belt, the longtime veteran has reached the stage where durability and consistent impact have become the primary concerns—and the 2025 season numbers tell that story. Pierre-Paul appeared in just 3 games, a stark indicator that either injury or depth-chart considerations limited his availability, and that minimal exposure translates to a below-average contributor at his position. The Buccaneers' recent linebacker signings—adding Josiah Trotter, Caden Fordham, and other depth pieces—signal the front office is actively rotating the room and exploring alternatives to shore up the position, a clear sign that Pierre-Paul's role has contracted. At this stage of a long career, the expectation shifts from elite production to reliable veteran leadership and spot duty, but missing game time undermines both. With the regular season nine weeks away and the team holding a wild-card position, the organization appears to be managing his workload carefully rather than counting on him as a foundational piece.
