For the last 10 years, Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner have provided the backbone for the Seahawks roster, serving as the cornerstones for their offensive and defensive units, respectively. Seattle decided to blow that core up last week, agreeing to deal Wilson to Denver and releasing Wagner without even telling him.
According to Jeremy Fowler at ESPN, a reunion might be in the works. Wilson is trying to recruit Wagner to the Broncos.
Russell Wilson isn't officially a Bronco yet, but he's doing his best to improve the roster — by recruiting Bobby Wagner to play with him in Denver, per sources.
Former teammates that played 10 years together in Seattle could reunite, though Wagner has an expansive market.

As Fowler mentions, Wagner has a lot of interested parties – including the Cowboys, 49ers, Cardinals and Rams. He is currently ranked the fifth-best free agent still on the market.
It may not happen until there’s a new front office regime, but Wagner should eventually return and retire as a Seahawk some time in the future, even if it’s only a one-day contract. Wagner went to eight Pro Bowls and earned six All-Pro nominations during his time in Seattle.
