SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks veteran offensive lineman D.J. Fluker said he has been released by the team after two seasons as their starting right guard.
Fluker posted on Twitter that he had been informed by coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider of the decision.
The move came two days after Seattle drafted Fluker’s heir apparent in LSU guard Damien Lewis in the third round of the NFL draft.
Seattle has also added several interior offensive linemen this offseason, including B.J. Finney, Kahlil McKenzie and Chance Warmack.
The move with Fluker will save Seattle about $3.6 million against the salary cap.
