Why don't the Seattle Seahawks put more resources into their offensive line?
"Great question," general manager John Schneider said in August. "I get it all the time, from a lot of different areas."
Understandably so. In terms of salary-cap percentage, the Seahawks fielded the NFL's least expensive offensive line last season and are 31st in spending at that position in 2017, according to Spotrac.com.
Since back-to-back Super Bowl appearances following the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Seahawks have replaced several veteran offensive line starters with younger, cheaper options. Predictably, they've been challenged up front.
