He was all so considered the #1 FA tackle available at the time.. How lucky for him to suck so bad but be the best of them!! You really thought he was worth the signing when Getty did it?? IMPO , none of them are worth the money their making .Yet it's the market value at the time yes because that's what the market called for ,now, no .Hindsight is wonderful .

I was one of those that that thought keeping him was a good idea. However that is because I thought he would be depth, not a starter. Even with that thought I was wrong, he is not a good backup anymore.

No "hindsight" coming from me.. I hated the signing from the start and I hope people have learned that these players aren't worth big 2nd contracts unless they are elite and very few are..

He was all so considered the #1 FA tackle available at the time.. After we passed on the #1 FA tackle available the year before. I was pushing hard for him and he's still playing good which has surprised me..

The Bucs are the literal SB champs. Not saying it wasn't time for NE and him to part...but he went and won a Superbowl, it wasn't some example of the Pats being smarter than everyone else. They stepped back,used the covid opt outs and such to their advantage and knew it was a re used year,built a complete team to get their next guy in this year.. 1 freaking year... Yeah they let Brady go and he won one He might get one more with that team then poof,bucs are back to being irrelevant for the next 15 years agai while the Patriots are in dynasty 2.0 Brady is no dummy. A lot of people said why Tampa but Tampa already had a lot of talent. Then bringing Gronk, Antonio Brown, and Fournette on board did not hurt a bit.

Pretty much every decision made with this OL has been wrong or arguably wrong. Solder was a perfect example of passed time to cut your losses. He should have been cut or benched. But but he was cheap and a veteran and a great locker room presence so it had to have been a good deal! I think at this point I would rather have a bad locker room full of players who win on Sunday...
