Bobby Wagner’s primary goal in free agency wasn’t to sign with a team that afforded him the chance to face the Seattle Seahawks twice a year. But after the team cut him without so much as a phone call beforehand, he didn’t love the way things went down.
Now a member of the Los Angeles Rams, Wagner will go up against his former team twice a year in the NFC West. He’ll make his presence known in those contests, too, saying “it won’t be a quiet game.
“A lot of people think that it went into my decision, being able to play the Seahawks, but I don’t have that much hate in my heart,” Wagner told reporters on Monday. “I really wanted to be happy, and I wanted to be close to home, and stay on the West Coast. That was important to me, but playing the Seahawks twice a year was the cherry on top. And I’ll make sure they see me every time we play them. Y’all know where I’m at, and I’ll tell them, it won’t be a quiet game for me.”
