a well paid player who doesn't earn it on gameday, despite his positives.
And Solder isn't a good example?
Solder needs to take a paycut. I don't see how you pay a guy $13M to be a liability. And this whole thing about the dead cap hit is a red herring. The Giants have more than enough cap room in 2020. There is no need to kick the can down the road, they will be rolling over cap space into 2021 regardless.

Ogletree is easily replaced. Solder, well, maybe. It depends on who the Giants are able to sign in free agency, and who they draft. As bad as he's been for the past two years, Solder may still end up being their best option at one of the OT spots, as sad as that sounds.

I have no problem cutting (or pay-cutting) Solder if they have his replacement on board. Currently, they don't and it's not a snap to find one or rely on a rookie.

They can always re-sign Solder. It's not like somebody else is gonna pay him $13M in 2020.
p.s.--I'm not a scout and don't have a strong opinion on Solder but the media and fan consensus seems to be that he was a liability in 2019. Do you agree with the consensus? My biggest issue is with those who think the dead cap hit should play a role in the decision. That money is gone and isn't coming back.
He definitely put out a number of poor performances

No, but he could sign with someone else for considerably less before we had a chance to re-sign him.
Cut the rest especially Tate. Waste of space. Get a young player in there to get the PT. Great draft for WRs. Or bring in Sammy Watkins who could be a great value. He still has plenty left.

Why keep Solder to protect Jones when the problem is HE CAN'T BLOCK?
Open market Solder isn't getting 19.5 over 2 years. The Giants have to get that figured way down for him to stay.
It is reported he is willing to take a paycut.
No replacement for Solder, so he stays.
If Tate had played all 16 games he was on track for 70+ catches and nearly 1,000 yards. He stays too.
Pulley should stay at least through camp, until the Giants see what they have at C.
+1,000,000
