SEATTLE — The longer Bobby Wagner sits on the open market, the more you can feel the gentle trade winds blowing him back toward Seattle.
Or maybe that's just the warm breath of former teammates advocating for Wagner's return. In particular, K.J. Wright and Quandre Diggs have been vocal in their insistence that a second act with the Seahawks is not just sensible, but highly desirable.
What matters, though, is what coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider think. And how Wagner himself weighs the anger he felt last March over what he perceived to be miscommunication by the Seahawks in failing to inform him of his release before it became public against the nostalgic pull of returning to the scene of his greatest career success.
