Just saw this too..man Fluker or Britt would be upgrades for us. Could we make the contracts work??
IDK. Fluker has been on three teams in 6 years. All had bad olines. Britt is coming off an ACL.
Didn't Donald get into scuffles with both these guys a couple of years ago ?
From memory he is good at run blocking but, suffers at pass blocking. Penalties and sacks allowed are high.

So we'll take confirmed underperformers over our young balls of clay?
Wilson runs for his life every other play and we wanna pick up 2 of those lineman?
Fun fact. Dj fluker as a guard graded out at 60 for the Seahawks. David Edwards, our rookie guard, graded out at 61.

Name a team he has been on that couldn’t run the ball.
He has his limitations in pass pro - but as a guard - the LOS moves.
And he is a leader.
It’s a yes from me.

Just because he has a recognizable name doesn't mean he's a good fit for the team. He ain't all that. Not every lineman available is someone we should consider.
Fluker is bad. Well bad at pass blocking at least. Donald always got under his skin.
not an upgrade over anything we already have plus Fucker doesn't really fit our scheme.
Funny. Fluker was the 11th pick in 2013 and has now been cut by three teams (all with bad olines). And people want him. Yet Austin Corbett picked in 2018 33 overall and cut by one team is a bust.
On a team that runs a lot of outsize zone? Poor fit.
Flucker makes no sense to me because of his weakness in pass pro, and lack of any position flexibility.
However, Justin Britt (should he be let go) does intrigue me as a versatile G/C back-up. Don’t see Rams paying Blythe $4M to do anything but start at center.
Of the Rams OL options, I am least confident and optimistic about Brian Allen. Center only, and just not any good. Way over-drafted in my opinion. Allen makes Blythe look big.

Justin Britt took a shot at him when his back was turned. DJ Fluker just yammered at him from a safe distance. Real tough guys. And Donald typically has both for breakfast.

If Fluker came cheap though, I would be interested.
