Ereck Flowers is no longer the New York Giants' left tackle after the signing of Nate Solder was made official Thursday night. He’s also no longer being handed a starting job.
Flowers, a first-round pick in 2015, will compete to be the Giants' starting right tackle this season. His competition at this point is two rookies from last season: Chad Wheeler and Adam Bisnowaty.
“As soon as we announced the signing of Nate, [coach] Pat [Shurmur] spoke with Ereck,” general manager Dave Gettleman said in a statement announcing Solder’s deal.
