NY Giants Free Agency: The best and worst signings since 2018

Worst signing #2: OT Nate Solder

Similar to the Golladay signing, we do understand why Gettleman would want to send a big-time contract toward an offensive tackle, but making Nate Solder the highest-paid offensive lineman of all time is just hilarious in hindsight.

Right off the bat, fans knew this signing wasn't going to pan out, as in his first season with the team, Solder allowed seven sacks and 33 total pressures. While this wasn't even close to the worst season he'd have with the team, it's safe to say Solder already wasn't worth what he was being paid. A four-year, $62 million deal for this guy? Yikes.

Things got even worse in 2019 and 2020 when Solder followed up his 2018 season by allowing 11 sacks and 56 pressures and opted out of the COVID-ridden 2020 season, which is understandable, but still not good.

Then, in his final season, fans thought things would get better with Solder shifting over to right tackle, the easier position to play compared to the left side. However, it arguably got worse, as he would allow six sacks and 36 pressures in 2021 before his contract would eventually expire.

Not only are these two moves the worst since 2018, but they are easily the worst in Giants' history. To make things even funnier, you could make the argument that these are some of the worst signings in NFL history. These two signings will be what define Gettleman's tenure as Giants GM for the rest of history.
