The New England Patriots exercised a fifth-year contract option on offensive tackle Nate Solder for 2015.
A first-round pick in the 2011 draft, Solder has played 47 games (44 starts) since entering the league out of Colorado.
Solder will earn $7.438 million in 2015.
The Patriots also signed linebacker Josh Hull, who was released by the Washington Redskins earlier this month, to a one-year contract, ESPN.com reported Thursday.
Hull, a special teamer, made 14 tackles in 11 games last season.
