The #Giants are expected to sign former #Patriots LT Nate Solder, source said. They get their franchise left tackle. Huge get.
All the Patriots OL benefit from Brady, the offense, and Scarnecchia so I would stay away from them all things being equal, but hard to argue he's the best option out there.
that has always been Flowers more natural position. I expect he'll have to compete for it with a rookie or lower cost veteran, but he'll likely win that battle and go on to be a very good RT.
Now time for DG to find the next Norwells at the guard spots.
I think relative to the tackle play we've been subjected to
for the last 6-8 years, this place will be ready to enshrine him in Canton after a few games. Not saying he's the greatest, but he's better than we've had in a long time.

Flowers to RT?
We don't need a savior, just competence. We have had a completely incompetent line for 5 plus years.
Average or slightly above, and this is a different team.

Flowers to RT?
Of course not but he is a huge upgrade at LT that also upgrades RT with Flowers moving over there. With the amount of money that Hubbard, Fulton, etc. got nobody should complain about Solder's contract.
RE: Also the domino effect of Solder is improving the RT spot as well

Flowers needs to be at guard or on the bench. His problems at left tackle will be problems at right tackle as well.
Engineering humor there.......
Plenty of red flags here, but the Giants are certainly a better team now than they were yesterday.

All true - future LT is still a need, but at least its not a desperate need right now anymore
A pylon would be an improvement. At least it wouldn't hold or false start ever.

Nate Solder has agreed in principle to a 4-year contract with the New York Giants.
Link - ( New Window )
He played a hell of a game in the Super Bowl vs the Eagles pass rush.

Moving Flowers to RT or moving Flowers..
Let's hope that Flowers can adjust to the right side AND improve.
We got your man, Gidie!

Guard would be my bet, but we'll see

Nate Solder is going to be the new highest-paid left tackle in the league with this deal from the Giants. Waiting on exact numbers.
There really is no plan B for left tackle (unless you are OK with Flowers/Wheeler).
Solder
2nd Rd Pick
Jones
Fluker
Flowers
No one would confuse this with the 1995 Cowboys but it would be a step in the right direction.
