New York Giants' Nate Solder intends to play in 2021 after opting out last season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants offensive tackle Nate Solder intends to play in 2021 as long as the situation is right, he told ESPN in a phone conversation this week.

Solder, who opted out this past season because of concerns for his family with COVID-19, has yet to have that conversation with the team about his future. He was considered a high-risk opt-out and his contract tolled.

He is scheduled to make $10 million in 2021 while costing $16.5 million against the salary cap this upcoming season.

The Giants haven't been in a rush to make any moves with the new league year still almost three weeks away.
