D.J. Fluker gives Seahawks a bargain at guard over Luke Joeckel

In search of bargains in free agency, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider found a big one in D.J. Fluker.

Just compare his contract to the one the Seahawks gave another guard in free agency last year, Luke Joeckel.

Both got one-year deals. Fluker's is worth up to $1.5 million with $300,000 guaranteed.

Joeckel got $7 million guaranteed and ended up making closer to $8 million with bonuses. He gave the Seahawks 11 uneven starts and missed the other five because his knee injury from 2016 required another surgery midseason. It was among several things that didn't go as planned for the Seahawks' offensive line -- and their offense in general -- during a disappointing 9-7 season.
