With the new league less than a week away, the Seattle Seahawks shook up the NFL landscape with a pair of transactions on Tuesday. The first was a blockbuster deal involving shipping off their nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback to the Denver Broncos. The second was the release of eight-time All-Pro inside linebacker Bobby Wagner.
While the Russell Wilson trade can’t be made official until 4 p.m. EST next Wednesday, Wagner is free to sign with any team he wants immediately, whenever he so chooses. He was due to have a cap hit of $20.
