NEW YORK (CBS SPORTS) — Back in 2015, the New York Giants selected former University of Miami tackle Ereck Flowers with their first-round pick. The plan was originally for Flowers to play on the right side opposite Will Beatty, but Beatty tore his pectoral and flowers flipped over to Eli Manning’s blind side. He has since struggled badly in pass protection, and last year there were reportedly problems with effort and attitude in the locker room.
The Giants have spent some money to remake their offensive line already this offseason, giving former Patriots tackle Nate Solder a four-year, $62 million contract.
