Bobby Wagner still hasn’t found a new home, but we’re learning some details about his suitors’ pursuits. Rams GM Les Snead admitted that the Rams “talked about” adding the veteran linebacker (via Michael J. Duarte on Twitter). The GM even met with the defensive coaching staff to break down tape and determine if Wagner would be a fit.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the Rams connected to Wagner; all of the NFC West teams were mentioned as suitors after the linebacker was let go by the Seahawks. The Broncos and Cowboys have also been connected to the 31-year-old.
Speaking of the Cowboys, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports (on Twitter) that “no momentum exists” between Wagner and Dallas. Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is familiar with Wagner dating back from their days in Seattle, and according to Gehlken, the coach has been in contact with the player, who is serving as his own agent. While there is a “strong relationship” between the two, the reporter says a deal was considered “unlikely” and a “long shot” from the start.
Wagner started all three playoff games during the Seahawks Super Bowl-winning 2013 campaign, and he then proceeded to go on an eight-year run of Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. During that stretch, Wagner averaged 145 tackles per season, and he left the organization as the Seahawks’ all-time leader in tackles. The 31-year-old was still productive in 2021, compiling a career-high 170 tackles to go along with three tackles for loss and three QB hits.
Come to Baltimore
His tweeting with the dolphins tomorrow
That’s a good fit.

Eagles would be a great fit but they have this stupid attitude of not valuing linebackers.
I wish the Saints had some space. I would love to see Demario Davis and Bobby Wagner side by side at LB.
Well the cowboys can’t sign Wagner cause that might actually be a winning move and that’s something that Jerry is incapable of doing. Besides he’s more worried about Jerry’s World and selling tickets instead of maybe winning a superbowl.
RRRRRRRAIDERS! 🙂 It’s a fit!!
For the love of god sign with anyone but the Rams
