According to Ed Werder, the Dallas Cowboys reached out to free-agent LB Bobby Wagner.
While the Cowboys are interested, there is still the matter of determining whether the financial components work out.
He was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.
He had an opinion on how the Seahawks handled his departure.
Bobby Wagner @BwagzCrazy part about all this. I played there for 10 years & I didn’t even hear it from them that I wasn’t coming back.
There was a time when the Cowboys were linked with a disgruntled player. Earl Thomas signed with the Baltimore Ravens, who had a bad season.
The same outcome could be on the horizon. The Dallas Cowboys weren't kicking the idea around when they signed the eight-time Pro Bowler at that time, as reported by the NFL Network's Jane Slater.
That is no longer the case, but the likelihood of this partnership becoming a reality might not be that strong.
The Cowboys are over the salary cap by over a million dollars, before taking into account what Michael Gallup, Randy Gregory, and Connor Williams could earn on their next deals. Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is not a fan of the idea of Wagner signing with Dallas.
Clarence Hill Jr @clarencehilljrPer sources, the Cowboys are not going to be in the Bobby Wagner sweepstakes. Can't compete money wise. Or won't.
The Cowboys and the Seahawks had the same defensive coach, Dan Quinn, who was with them for two years.
Sentiment will probably be put aside when he makes his final decision.
He finished the season with 170 tackles, one interception and five pass breakups. He might not give anyone a discount since this might be his last chance to get a big multiyear contract, and he is one of the best linebackers on the free-agent market.
