Finding competent left tackles is one of the most difficult personnel assignments in football, and the Giants blew through the top of the offensive line market to get Solder. His annual average of $15.5 million is 17 percent more than the next-highest-paid player at the position: Russell Okung of the Los Angeles Chargers ($13.25 million).

All that money to Okung makes me think the Bolts have to go cheaper with the rest of the OL. You hate to tie up too much money in one position group.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Value of versatile running backs
The two most lucrative free-agent running back contracts have gone to Jerick McKinnon(San Francisco) and Dion Lewis (Tennessee). Neither has a 1,000-yard rushing season to his name.
The value of traditional between-the-tackles tailbacks has plummeted over the past decade. Instead, teams have shifted toward runners who are equally comfortable catching passes from either the backfield or even from the outside receiver positions. McKinnon caught 142 passes over the past four seasons for the Vikings, 94 of them in the past two. Lewis, meanwhile, caught 85 passes for the New England Patriots over the past three seasons.
At the moment, McKinnon's average of $7.5 million per season is higher than all but three running backs in the NFL. That list includes Pittsburgh Steelers tailback Le'Veon Bell, who is on a $14.5 million franchise tag, along with the Atlanta Falcons' Devonta Freeman($8.25 million) and the Buffalo Bills' LeSean McCoy ($8.01 million). Lewis' average of $5 million is tied for ninth.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
