Once one of the top offensive tackles in the league, Nate Solder faces an uphill battle to make the NY Giants’ roster after returning from opting out in 2020

Just three years ago, Nate Solder arrived to the NY Giants as the highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL and an early signature addition during Dave Gettleman’s first season as general manager, but his circumstances entering the 2021 season couldn’t be a starker contrast from his first.

Solder, after opting out of the 2020 season in an effort to protect his young son, a cancer patient, returns in a perilous position on the NY Giants’ roster, likely needing a strong training camp to secure a job this summer.
