Bobby Wagner agreed to a five-year, $50 million contract with the Rams last week, remaining in the NFC West with one of the Seahawks’ rivals. Wagner still has not yet signed his contract with the Rams, so the details of the deal haven’t become public.
We don’t know how much money is guaranteed, what his cap hits will be each year or what the included incentives are. According to reports, however, his cap hit is on the lower side in Year 1.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported that “no fewer than four sources have told us that the deal actually pays out $6.5 million in the first year.” That’s lower than the $10 million per year Wagner will average with the Rams.
