The Giants are making a concerted effort to address their woeful offensive line.

New York is expected to sign former New England Patriots left tackle Nate Solder, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The two sides reportedly agreed to a four-year, $62-million contract with $35 million guaranteed, Rapoport adds, outbidding the likes of the Patriots and Houston Texans. The deal would make Solder the highest-paid offensive lineman in football. The Washington Redskins' Trent Williams currently makes $13.6 million per season.

Solder has spent his entire seven-year career with the Patriots and helped the team to two Super Bowl victories. However, he has yet to be named a Pro Bowler or first-team All-Pro.

Since 2013, the best the Giants have fared in rushing is 19th in the league.

The Solder signing leaves Ereck Flowers, the Giants' 2015 first-round draft pick, in a state of flux.
