Former Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner may have lost a step, but he’s still one of the game’s top defenders. After the first day of the legal tampering period, Wagner remains unsigned. Heading into today’s action, he has been ranked the fifth-best free agent still on the market by Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield at Touchdown Wire.
Wagner was unceremoniously released by Seattle eight days ago, the same day the team agreed to trade Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Combined with the unpopular Wilson deal, cutting Wagner without even telling him has rubbed a whole lot of fans the wrong way.
Several teams have been reported to have interest in Wagner, including the Cowboys and all three of the Seahawks’ division rivals. Rejoining Dan Quinn in Dallas would make for a nice story, but obviously the team that gives Wagner the best chance at winning a second Super Bowl ring is the LA Rams, who could also use an off-ball linebacker like Wagner – certainly more than the 49ers – who have the brilliant Fred Warner – and the Cardinals – who have the rising Isaiah Simmons.
