Despite the NFL agency being underway for a while, All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner remains unsigned. However, recent reports indicate this might not be the case for too long.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Wagner visited the Baltimore Ravens on Friday to discuss a potential deal with the franchise. While he left without an offer, the Ravens are reportedly highly interested in adding him to their roster. 

Other teams are monitoring the situation as well, including the Los Angeles Rams, who already hosted Wagner earlier in the week. The Rams are interested in Wagner but only for “the right price.”

The goal for the Ravens this offseason was to get a playmaking linebacker. They believed they managed to get one after agreeing to a deal with Za’Darius Smith, but the Pro Bowler bailed out on Baltimore to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. However, if they manage to get Wagner missing out on Smith shouldn’t sting too much.

Bobby Wagner spent his first 10 seasons in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks. During that time, he established himself as arguably the greatest player in franchise history. Wagner helped the Seahawks win their first Super Bowl in 2013 while earning numerous individual accolades throughout the years. This includes six First-Team All-Pro nods and eight Pro Bowl selections.

The Seahawks released Wagner in March as a cap casualty. He left the franchise having made 1,383 tackles to go with 23.5 sacks, 60 pass deflections, 11 interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.
