The New York Giants signed former left tackle for the New England Patriots, Nate Solder, to a record-breaking deal in 2018 to sure up Eli Manning’s blind-side. While Solder adapted half-way through the season, he struggled to maintain consistency. During rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ inaugural campaign, Solder has been abysmal.
Solder currently sits with a 67.6 grade, per PFF. He has allowed eight total sacks, which is the second-highest number in the NFL. Considering his mammoth contract, the Giants aren’t getting the value they expected out of the Super Bowl-winning tackle.
That reality could force them to look elsewhere in free agency if they elect not to draft a player like Andrew Thomas in the upcoming NFL Draft.
