ORLANDO, Fla. — With a vacancy at left tackle for the first time in nearly two decades, Bill Belichick maintained yesterday that every option would continue to be considered in the coming months.
LaAdrian Waddle is likely the leader in the clubhouse, but he’ll have to win the job in camp. His competition will include Tony Garcia, Cole Croston, Matt Tobin, Andrew Jelks and the assumption of a draft pick.
“We’ll see how it goes,” Belichick said. “I don’t know.”
The void obviously stems from Nate Solder’s departure for the Giants, who wooed him with a four-year, $62 million pact that was the biggest contract in history for an offensive lineman.
