Giants agree to deal with left tackle Nate Solder, source says

The Giants are getting a hog molly lineman at a holy moley cost.

They will sign free agent left tackle Nate Solder away from the Patriots later on Wednesday, a source confirmed, giving them an established left tackle for the first time since David Diehl. The NFL Network was the first to report the agreement. The pricetag for that cornerstone of the offensive line is a four-year contract reportedly worth between $60 and $62 million, making Solder the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL.

It also makes 2015 first-round pick Ereck Flowers, their starting left tackle the past three seasons, expendable.
