Bobby Wagner is departing the Seattle Seahawks for the second time.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, veteran linebacker Wagner has agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders. Wagner may earn up to $8.5 million in the deal, with a guarantee of $6 million.
Wagner, 33, returned to Seattle after spending the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Rams. He still has a lot to contribute, having led the league with 183 total tackles last season (a personal best) and earning his ninth Pro Bowl nod and eleventh All-Pro selection of his career.
Wagner’s new team, Washington, is a perfect fit for him because Dan Quinn is the coach. You may recall Quinn as the defensive coordinator for the Seahawks’ Super Bowl XLVIII victory in 2014 (with Wagner as a starter and defensive leader).
This is shaping up to be a great offseason for the Commanders. They recently signed Austin Ekeler, Marcus Mariota, and Zach Ertz to their offense, reuniting Quinn with some of his former Dallas Cowboys teammates.
