Seahawks part ways with Britt and Fluker

The Seattle Seahawks revamped their offensive line on Sunday, parting ways with center Justin Britt and guard DJ Fluker.

Fluker posted a letter revealing his release to Seattle fans on Twitter. Britt's release was reported by multiple entities and he posted a photo of himself in a Seahawks uniform simply saying "Thank You" on his Instagram account.

Britt spent six years with the Seahawks and started 86 of 87 games played after being a second-round pick out of Missouri in 2014. He played the first eight games of last season before suffering a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee on Oct 27 against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Seahawks will save $8.5 million under the salary cap by releasing Britt prior to June 1, according to spotrac. Seattle clears $3.68 million of cap space by cutting Fluker, according to the same entity.

Fluker spent the past two seasons with Seattle and started 23 of 24 games played.
