The Seattle Seahawks are expected to be without starting right guard D.J. Fluker for awhile because of a serious hamstring injury, and that’s certainly concerning given what we’ve come to know about the massive guard this year. Cast out of San Diego before even the Chargers technically were, unwanted by the New York Giants despite them having potentially an even worse situation on the offensive line than the Seahawks had, Fluker came to Seattle on just a one year, $1.5 million contract. Consider some other guards who signed free agent contracts this year:
Fluker dealt with injuries in 2017 in New York, but still received some praise from coaches and teammates and many noted his “road grading” in the run blocking department that showcased what made him the 11th overall pick out of Alabama in 2013.
