The future Hall of Fame linebacker addressed his reunion with the Seahawks.
as a free agent. When news of Wagner’s impending release from the Rams was made public, there was plenty of desire from Seahawks fans to bring Bobby back, especially with Jordyn Brooks on the mend following his ACL tear.on Sunday about his return to the Pacific Northwest, including this interesting line that indicates another big payday was secondary in determining where he’d play next.
“I’ve made a lot of money over my career,’’ Wagner said. “And so I think I’m at the point where I just want to go where I’m happy, and so I was just really pulling for this to work out.’’ It was around this time last year that Wagner’s release and the Russell Wilson trade were reported on the same day. This could’ve been seen as the end of the greatest era of Seahawks football; historically speaking Pete Carroll and John Schneider haven’t brought back too many key players from the 2012-2014 squads for a late-career reunion. Usually an extreme emergency has to happen for that to materialize. Wagner didn’t expect to be an exception to the rule.
“I did not think that this was in the cards,’’ Wagner said. “I think it was just like how everything happened and just them wanting to go younger and things of that nature, I thought this wasn’t necessarily in the cards. And then, obviously, I thought the Rams situation would probably go a little bit different than it did. But I’m happy with the outcome.’’
