Nate Solder intends to play in 2021, after opting out due to COVID-19 concerns last season, according to a report from ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. But, just because Solder plans to play, doesn’t mean the NY Giants should feel obligated to bring him back.

Solder will be 33 when the 2021 regular season kicks off in September, and failed to live up to his contract as the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL, after signing as a free agent prior to the 2018 season.
