After one year with the Los Angeles Rams, Bobby Wagner is returning to his original team. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Wagner is signing a one-year deal worth $7 million with the Seattle Seahawks.
Wagner spent the first 10 years of his career with the Seahawks but was released by Seattle last offseason. He signed a five-year deal worth $50 million with the Rams last year but the two sides mutually agreed to part ways after one season.
Wagner was a star for the Rams in 2022, recording 140 tackles, six sacks and two interceptions in 17 games played. He was voted a second-team All-Pro and had the highest PFF grade of any linebacker in the NFL last season.

When Wagner joined the Rams, he made it clear that getting the chance to play Seattle twice a year was a factor. He also publicly said he didn’t like the way they handled his release, not giving him a heads up before parting ways with him.
Wagner now returns to the team that draft him in 2012, hoping to get back to the playoffs after missing them last season with the Rams.
