New York Giants offensive lineman Nate Solder is opting-out of the upcoming NFL season. This news follows a wave of players who have chosen to opt-out over the past few days. Solder released a statement on his decision.
Solder’s son Hudson’s pre-existing battle with cancer, Nate’s own run-in with cancer in the past, and the birth of his new baby boy were the reasons behind the decision to opt-out.
Solder’s son Hudson was found to have cancerous tumors in his kidneys at just three months old. Nate and his wife Lexi traveled to Boston for Hudson’s chemotherapy all of last year.
