There were a lot of reasons why the Giants signed Cam Fleming this offseason.
They wanted to add veteran depth to their offensive line in case they needed a spot starter. They thought he would fit in with their culture. And they knew he had familiarity with a lot of the new coaches on the staff having spent the first six years of his career with the Patriots and Cowboys.
They did not think they were signing a full-time starting player.
Yet as the season approaches, it appears Fleming will be just that. Because Nate Solder opted out and first-round pick Andrew Thomas has been moved to left tackle, Fleming has become the logical choice to play right tackle.
