SEATTLE — When Bobby Wagner packs up and leaves Seattle for Los Angeles soon for the beginning of training camp, he says it's not "goodbye" but "see you later."
While his work address has changed, Wagner plans to keep his residence in the Seattle area and remain a part of the community he began calling home 10 years ago when he was drafted by the Seahawks in the second round in 2012 out of Utah State.
Since his release by Seattle on March 8 and subsequent signing with the Rams a few weeks later, Wagner says he has often run into people in town who tell him "they hope I don't leave forever. And I'm like 'I'm not leaving forever. I just don't play for the Seahawks anymore.'"
