Offensive line

Gained: Andrew Thomas, Matt Peart, Shane Lemieux, Tyler Haycraft, Cam Fleming

Lost: Nate Solder, Jon Halapio*, Mike Remmers, George Asafo-Adjei, Evan Brown

Left tackle Nate Solder has opted out of the 2020 season, so the Giants will have a new face at that spot this year. It could be first round draft pick Andrew Thomas, Nick Gates, free agent Cam Fleming or third round pick Matt Peart. Let the competition begin.

Two of those four will be the Giants’ starting tackles. The center position is also up for grabs. Spencer Pulley will have to fend off Gates and rookie Shane Lemieux.

The guards are set. Will Hernandez and Kevin Zeitler both have Pro Bowl talent and Colombo could be the coach to get them there.

Halapio may be re-signed when healthy. *

Verdict: Upgrade
