On Wednesday, Feb 23, the Los Angeles Rams released veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner from the team. This occurred just one year after signing a five-year, $50 million deal with the team in April of 2022. This move was strictly regarding creating salary cap space, as the Rams have put themselves in a rough spot financially after going all-in on their Super Bowl win in the 2021 season.
Prior to signing that contract with the Rams, the Dallas Cowboys pursued Wagner in free agency. Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn spent several years with Wagner while he was the defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks.
