Entering this offseason, D.J. Fluker was a free agent set to test the market. He eventually landed in Baltimore on a one-year deal, one million dollar contract. Many expected him to be a starter, but as a backup, he has been just as valuable, if not more valuable than what was expected.

D.J. Fluker is a well-traveled veteran. Drafted out of the University of Alabama by the San Diego Chargers with the number 11 pick.
