New England Patriots OT Nate Solder continues to blossom into one of the top young left tackles in the league. He has a mix of length and power, but can continue to grow sturdier in his base. He is under contract through the 2014 season, and the team can exercise an option through 2015.

At this time, Miami Dolphins OT Jonathan Martin has no plans to sue the team or seek any other action. He wants to work with the team so that he can be traded to a team with earnest interest in him. The team cannot deal him until the beginning of the 2014 league year in March. The team is not expected to net a lot in return, but two NFL general managers said that Martin would probably be worth something. Both GMs also said Martin has value because he is an offensive tackle and possesses rare physical traits.
