Wagner returns to Seattle (1 year/$7 million)

[coorslighthawk]

Sweet!!

 

[MyrtleHawk]

This is awesome for so many reasons, but I'd like to point out that Bobby does have a whole year of inside information on the Rams...

 

[Cyrus12]

Puts a band aid on things for a year...brought back a true leader..could be worse..coulda signed Barton.

 

[sutz]

Color me a bit surprised, but not unhappy about it.

 

[AROS]

Love it! Welcome home Bobby. Just what we need. Let’s go!!

 

[toffee]

Bitter sweet, it signaled that our MLB update project has failed. But 12s are glad to have Bobby back,

 

[AROS]

2023 Bobby is still better than plenty of 2023 LBs. Love the signing. Not just for the leadership he brings but the familiarity and he clearly still has some left in the tank.

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

Even the nfl credited Quandre for breaking this story.

Welcome home to a Warrior!!

 

[HawksNation]

Welcome back Bobby!!

Bobby Wagner returns to Seattle on a one-year, $7 million deal

Last year, two cornerstone members of the Seahawks left the organization. This year, one of them is coming back. Per multiple reports, linebacker Bobby Wagner is returning to Seattle on a one-year,…

Yeah, saw it coming.

Pete still feels bad for ending it the way he did.

Gave him another shot, strictly, personal.

Obviously there it's personal with Bobby consider all he's given us but you don't really think that's why we signed him do you?

 

[Spin Doctor]

Much needed signing. Bobby isn't as good as he used to be, but he's probably the best option out there. The iLB position is a dumpster fire even with Brooks healthy for us. Aside from that, we saw that Brooks was really slow to diagnose plays and he was really bad at getting people in place. Barton even looked better in that role than Brooks. We need a field general like Bobby out there to get everyone into position. It was a huge issue last season.

This move also gives the Seahawks more options come draft time. I would love for them to bring back Al Woods and Shelby Harris on cheaper deals, but that's unlikely to happen.

 

[Maelstrom787]

I just don't know what this means. Obviously, it's a great culture move and feels good - but Wagner simply does not have the lateral agility left to cover the ground that the mike linebacker needs to.

Might come up with some sort of special role that has him playing more north-south? He's still plenty solid at that.

 

[HawkinNY]

Wish they gave him 2 years at 5.5 per.

Seems steep --- but will be great to see him back in Seahawks uniform. Defense needs a leader and communicator. Was obviously missing last year.

Considering Jamal Adams is making over twice the amount to sit in a wheelchair

 

[MORGULON]

Wagner towards the end of his career is better than anything Seattle has going .
I hated seeing him go to LA.

 

[Maulbert]

Looking forward to seeing him in the throwback unis.

 

[Hawkinaz]

I wonder what the “real” numbers are

 

[LickMyNuts]

Can we just roll him straight into coaching when he hangs it up?
