According to a report by Adam Schefter, the Seattle Seahawks were planning to release veteran LB BobbyWagner after 10 years with the team.
The eight-time All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection had a strong season in 2021.
Since he clearly still has a lot left in the tank, Wagner is likely to field a ton of suitors as one of the most decorated players on the free-agent market.
Here is a look at some of the teams that would be great landing spots.
The Baltimore Ravens parted ways with their long-time defensive coach Don Martindale, who is now with the New York Giants.
While the team may be focused on addressing defensive linemen, it would be wise to pursue Wagner.
The Ravens' best leader on that side of the ball has been Ray Lewis. The unit that ranked 22nd in sacks last year could be improved with the addition of Patrick Queen.
Dallas is usually an attractive destination for big-name free agents, and this offseason should be no different. The Cowboys are close to being considered a top contender.
The defense made a huge leap last season. The Cowboys scored 21.2 points per game and led the league with 34 turnovers and a plus-14 turnover differential.
Signing with Dallas would also bring him back to his former team, where he was a part of the defense from 2014 to 2015. He would have the chance to play with a rising star, who was named the defensive rookies of the year.
The Eagles have three first-round picks in the upcoming NFL draft, and they will surely be looking to improve their defense. Philadelphia could address a need early.
The Eagles ranked last in the league in sacks last season. The coverage of the linebacking corps was poor throughout the year. Both of those deficiencies would be fixed by Wagner.
Adding a player of the caliber of Wagner will have positive ramifications across the board, as the Eagles have multiple holes to fill. He would be a great addition to the unit.
