In Buffalo, Paup led the league in sacks with 17 1/2 in 1995 and was named Associated Press defensive player of the year. He left Buffalo in February 1998 to sign a five-year, $22 million ($6 million signing bonus) contract with Jacksonville.
The Jaguars released Paup in June 2000. Signed by Minnesota four days later, he had two sacks in 10 games for the Vikings. He was out of football in 2001.
Paup's final game was the Vikings' loss in the NFC Championship Game; the previous season, the Jaguars lost in the AFC Championship Game. He missed the Bills' Super Bowl run by two years and the Packers' Super Bowl title by two years.
Paup, wife Denise and their four children live on a 71/2-acre spread just outside De Pere. They moved to Buffalo for one year but have lived in Green Bay since 1996. Paup recently started a home-building construction company with his brother-in-law.
"If the Packers don't want me in the building or anything like that, that doesn't matter to me," Paup said. "I don't need a big fanfare. I'm living in town and would like to retire as a Packer.
"People look at me kind of funny sometimes. They say, 'I should know you, your face is familiar.' I say, 'Oh, really,' and just keep walking. I could kind of care less.
"Green Bay's a big town but it's not too big. I got a nice church and found a nice school for my kids. It's just a nice place to live."
