Seahawks counting on Eddie Lacy, Luke Joeckel to give offense a boost

A breakdown of the first week of free agency for the Seattle Seahawks:

Most significant signing: The two players they've signed so far are running back Eddie Lacy and offensive lineman Luke Joeckel. Lacy will grab more headlines, but Joeckel is the more significant move. The Seahawks handed him a one-year, $8 million deal with $7 million guaranteed and are counting on Joeckel to help solidify their offensive line. He'll get a look at left tackle, but he could slide inside to left guard. Joeckel struggled to live up to expectations in four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and is coming off a torn ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus in his left knee that limited him to five games in 2016.
