Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner is happy to be playing close to home, but he made it clear Friday that he never wanted to leave the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks released Wagner in March as a cost-cutting move, and he told Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times this week that the move flew in the face of his desires:
"I didn't want to leave Seattle. But if I was going to leave Seattle, home was the next-best thing for me and so being able to be home, like, I'm at peace with the situation.
