Pro Bowl LB Bobby Wagner has signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Seahawks

Bobby Wagner will make another appearance with the Seattle Seahawks, debunking rumors he could sign with the Los Angeles Rams. Undoubtedly, the Seahawks featured one of the best defenses on the team during the free-agent period that began just two weeks earlier.

Earlier last month there were rumors that the legendary LB, who was just released by the Seahawks in March, could tie the knot with the LA Rams. In April last year, the Rams signed Wagner to a five-year, $50 million contract, and Bobby started in every game for the Rams, recording a career-high six sacks alongside 140 tackles, two interceptions and five pass defenses.

Wagner played for the Seattle Seahawks for 10 years before joining the Rams. Therefore, the team’s general manager and coach are well aware of how great the 32-year-old would be for the side that takes over.

“Everyone knows how much respect we have for Bobby… He had a great season last year. We will continue to speak and be in touch with him and see how it goes,” said Seahawks general manager John Schneider.

After starting his NFL career with the Seahawks in 2012, the former Rams player is officially returning home, where he spent 10 seasons and was named a first-team All-Pro six times during that span. He also led the Seahawks to a win in Super Bowl XLVIII in the 2013 season.

The Seahawks and the No. 54 have agreed on a one-year, $7 million contract, the team’s official website reported Saturday. Afterwards, the team released a picture of Wagner signing his contract and Wagz shared an Instagram post expressing his excitement.

“Maaaan! I’m glad to be back in Seattle! It means a lot to be able to come back! To work”, the LB on Instagram.

Time will tell what Wagner has in store for a comeback and how he can help the team achieve their stated goals. Despite his advanced age, all Seahawks fans hope to relive the dominance of the 6-footer on the court.
