Report: Seahawks signing Joeckel to 1-year deal

The Seattle Seahawks have filled a need by adding offensive tackle Luke Joeckel on a one-year deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, citing sources.

The Seahawks didn't have much available cap room, but desperately needed an infusion of talent on the offensive line after quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked more than 40 times in each of the past four seasons.

Seattle also finished 25th in team rushing last year.

Joeckel spent his first four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars - who drafted him second overall in 2013 - starting all 39 games he played in.
