New York Giants could trade Nate Solder and pursue another left tackle as replacement

With rumors popping up that the Cleveland Browns are interested in trading for New York Giants left tackle, Nate Solder, it begs the question: Does it makes sense?

Solder carries a massive cap-hit into next season at $19.5 million, but Big Blue has an out in his contract after 2019 that would count $13 million dead cap. With a lack of trusted left tackles in the league, sending him on his way and taking that type of hit would be ludicrous, but trading him, however, is a great alternative.

With the Browns prickling their ears for offers, sending him for a mid-round pick would be a great idea, on one condition — the Giants have a capable replacement for him.
