Let’s look at Solder, and debate that question, as we continue our player-by-player profiles of the 90-man roster the Giants will bring to training camp.The basicsHeight: 6-foot-8Weight: 325Age: 31Position: Left tackleExperience: 8How he got hereAfter seven solid seasons protecting the blind side of Tom Brady for the New England Patriots http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-evan-engram-jersey , Solder cashed in by signing a rich four-year, $62 million contract ($34.8 million guaranteed) with the Giants. At the time, the deal made him the league’s highest-paid left tackle.Solder struggled at the beginning of 2018, allowing six sacks and 20 total quarterback pressures in the Giants’ first eight games. Perhaps part of that was adjusting to a new team, new offense and new quarterback. Perhaps part of it was playing next to rookie Will Hernandez, who was going through his own growing pains.

At least from this viewpoint.2019 outlook Solder and Hernandez (no sacks allowed over the final nine games) played exceptionally well together during the second half of the 2018 season. That brings optimism that the left side of the Giants’ offensive line could be excellent in 2019. What Solder is as a player is well established at this point, and the continued development of Hernandez should be a plus.Solder did miss all of the spring practices due to ankle surgery, but indications have been that he should be ready to go for training camp in a couple of weeks. As long as he is healthy Womens Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , Solder should provide the Giants with solid play. Was he worth $34.8 million in guaranteed money? Whatever your opinion on that question, paying big money for big-name players at premium positions is simply the price of doing business atr the top end of the NFL free agent market.
