Cover up worse than crime: Solder restructure hampering NY Giants

The NY Giants are in a solid spot asset wise heading into the 2020 offseason, but just imagine where they could be if Dave Gettleman had never made the foolish mistake to restructure Nate Solder after watching him play football with Big Blue in 2018.

‘The cover up is worse than the crime’ is a perfect way to describe the Dave Gettleman/Nate Solder situation. Mostly anyone with a brain knew after the 2018 season that handing Solder the richest offensive lineman contract in free agency was a catastrophic mistake.

With that understood, it makes the fact that Gettleman chose to kick the can further down the road to have some extra money for an emergency fund for a rebuilding team egregious at best, and malpractice at worst.
