Bobby Wagner has agreed to a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, the team announced on Saturday. The free-agent linebacker is expected to earn $7 million in what will be his second stint in Seattle.
Wagner returns to the Seahawks after spending last season with the Los Angeles Rams. The linebacker spent each of his previous ten seasons with the Seahawks, who drafted him in the second round out of Utah State in 2012.
Considered by many to be the greatest defensive player in franchise history, Wagner is the franchise’s all-time leading tackler. He also won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seahawks before losing in Super Bowl XLIX the following season.
Wagner’s return to Seattle came after he was released from his contract with the Rams on March 15. This came a year after he signed a $50 million contract with Los Angeles that included $20 million in guarantees.
