Nate Solder is set to have a make or break season with the New York Giants this year. The Giants are definitely overpaying for Solder’s talents, but the degree that they’re overpaying depends on the production they get from the left tackle.
Solder didn’t do nearly enough to earn his salary last season. As for the current season, we have yet to see where Solder fits into the plans. The team presumably isn’t going to send a player they’re paying this much for to the bench. Even if rookie Andrew Thomas is the more attractive option at left tackle.
