One-year reported $7mil - will see how that contract breaks down into guarantees vs incentives before rating it as a move. With all the other defensive changes i like bringing in Bobby for his overall leadership and influence, and he did play really well last season (and his final year with us was still good). Whatever outcome, i like the one-year aspect, doesn't prevent our 2024 title push we're building towards.
Also i will allow my nostalgic self to enjoy the moment and just be happy to have Wagner as a Seahawk :)
Hated the move. He cant run any more. Seems to play tag football. Doesnt really hit. Dont get this getting old on defense movement with Reed and Wagner abd possibly Woods. Adams is 26 but going on 36.
Get veterans on offense and load up defense with young fast and hungry players.
I'm also glad BW is back, but I wonder which Bobby we're going to get? The HoF Bobby from 5 years ago or a washed up shell of his former self? Go 'Hawks!!
Good to hear Bobby's back. Not sure where Seattle's getting the $7M to sign him. Hopefully he still has enough gas in the tank to be worth that kind of money. My assumption had been he wouldn't get signed unless we could get him for about half that amount or less.
What a free agency for Seattle. Kicker, 2 QBs, G, C, 2 DT, ST, S, 2 LB (1 future HOF). 10 picks in the draft including a 5th and all 5 before 100. Mind blowing.
I really wasn't expecting Bobby back, and it makes me wonder... about Jamal Adams.
Last year the Seahawks were moving towards re-making the D into a 3-safety look with Adams featured prominently. With Love coming in, Neal likely under contract, and the number of Safeties the Seahawks reportedly have an interest in given visits to Seattle (per FGs) I wonder if the Seahawks have intel on Adams' availability--or rather unavailability. The money talked about for Bobby (and the guaranteed will likely be less than the $7 mill reported, but still) means that the Seahawks may have to make a cut somewhere and a post-June release of Adams may be in the cards now.

Wags on a 1-year $7M? heck yah!
I was thinking that was his number based upon his twitter cover pic was changed to a 2 + 5 showing on a pair of dice. NICE!
As long as we can put the necessary beef in front of him, we got a BIG improvement over Cody. That dude was pretty decent on the open field but he did Not get off blocks well. His skill set makes sense since he was a Safety before.
As for Bobby, put some beef in front of him (like the Rams did last year) and he can repeat as the Top LB in the League (2022 ranking per PFF).
No. Everything i said up to this point has been about his style and level of play NOW.
Nothing was mentioned about him as a person. Every Hawks fan loves Wagner! It goes without saying.

That certainly good news. At home where he belongs !

Didn't think it could happen because of cap. What do you bet Diggs restructures his contract. Really changes Seattle's draft strategy
Too bad I can only “like” this article once. Otherwise I’d be clicking that button for over an hour.
Being an optimist, I assumed he would return. Being an optimist has definite advantages over being a pessimist.

HELLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHH! Can’t wait to see him back in the navy and action green! He will have a huge positive impact on the team.
I wonder if part of the deal was that the Seahawks draft Carter if they can :D.
Bobby wants to keep those OL off of him so he can clean up, and having a force in the middle of the DL is a big part of that.
The Seahawks had better draft at least one MLB! Lawyer Milloy helped train up Kam Chancellor. It’s a perfect time for Bobby to play a similar role.
