To be fair, Bobby Wagner wasn’t at his best last season with the Seahawks. Whether he was playing hurt or just had the kind of off-year that’s inevitable when you play in the NFL this long we don’t know, but in any case it doesn’t excuse the way Seattle’s front office treated him last offseason after 10 years of nothing but high class and excellence.
Not only did the Seahawks not offer Wagner a paycut or a restructure heading into the final year of his contract, he found out he was being released when Adam Schefter broke the news on Twitter. Pete Carroll and John Schneider have since taken blame for what they’ve called a communication error, but that should have never been a possibility.
