NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports OT Nate Solder will remain with the Giants after reworking his contract.
One month shy of his 33rd birthday, Solder is presumably taking a mammoth pay cut after he opted out of the 2020 season. He had been due to count $16.5 million against the salary cap while making $9.9 million. That was never going to happen. 2020 No. 4 overall pick Andrew Thomas is the Giants’ new blindside protector, but right tackle remains a trouble spot. Solder can presumably slide in there, though he may need to win a cursory competition after sitting out. Last season’s right tackle, Cameron Fleming, is headed to free agency.
