Cincinnati Bengals: Giants’ T Nate Solder

Few people would have believed you if you told them that the Bengals would be leading the AFC standings seven weeks into the NFL season, but here we are. They have looked good on both sides of the ball, and they have the likely rookie of the year in Ja’Marr Chase.

Their offensive line patchwork in the offseason has been successful so far, but the addition of a veteran piece may be just what they need. The addition of Nate Solder could beef up their line and give them veteran depth that they need to make a run.

Giants fans will tell you that Solder has been horrendous this season, but perhaps misutilization and scheme fit are two reasons why. Solder can come to Cincy and provide key depth, which may fit him better at this point in his career.
