Tuesday was a wild day in Seattle, with the news the Seahawks had traded quarterback Russell Wilson in principle to the Denver Broncos. Later that evening, the organization parted ways with veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner.
“This is an extremely difficult day for the organization,” general manager John Schneider said via the Seahawks website. “Bobby has been at the center of our defense for the past 10 seasons and always represented our organization with class. He is a special player and person, and we are forever grateful. Bobby will always be a Hawk.”
The Seahawks officially announced Wagner’s release on Wednesday afternoon.
