When Dave Gettleman was hired as the New York Giants general manager before the end of the 2017 season, he made the offensive line his top priority.
And Gettleman did follow through on that priority, pouring resources into the line in a wide-ranging bid to improve it. The Giants traded EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul to free up the money used to make Nate Solder the highest paid tackle in the NFL, they signed OG Patrick Omameh to a (relatively) rich contract, traded center Brett Jones to open the door for Jon Halapio (and Spencer Pulley), and spent significant draft capital on Will Hernandez (2nd round), Andrew Thomas (4th overall), Matt Peart (3rd round), and Shane Lemieux (fifth round)
Unfortunately, despite all the resources, the results just haven’t been there for the Giants.
