Ereck Flowers’ absence from the voluntary Giants workouts this spring seems to stem from the reason most people assumed.
Appearing on WFAN on Friday morning to promote his celebrity softball game in June, Giants safety Landon Collins said he texted Flowers to see why he was not participating in the team events. He said he did not receive a reply, but Collins’ cousin is good friends with Flowers and passed along some information.
“He’s unhappy that they picked up Nate Solder,” Collins said.
That acquisition of the free-agent left tackle means Flowers — if and when he shows up — will compete at right tackle.
