No one can accuse the Giants and their general manager, Dave Gettleman, of accepting the status quo with their offensive line.
The group Gettleman inherited when he took over late in the 2017 season is resigned to history, or wherever it is bad offensive lines go to be discarded and forgotten. From then, to now, the five-man unit is completely revamped. There is no star power, but there is experience, grit, durability, youth and accountability. The presumptive starting lineup of Nate Solder, Will Hernandez, Jon Halapio, Kevin Zeitler and Mike Remmers was assembled every which way — big-ticket free agency, high in the NFL draft, low-end signings and via trades — and represents the best chance in several years — and perhaps the last chance — for this franchise to protect Eli Manning the way he needs to be.
