SEATTLE -- Bobby Wagner’s return to Seattle is more than a reunion between the Seahawks and arguably the greatest defensive player in franchise history.

It’s also a reconciliation.

And it follows a pattern of star players leaving the Seahawks on sour terms, for one reason or another, only to return to the team in some capacity with their once-fractured relationship repaired. It happened with running back Marshawn Lynch in 2019 and with defensive tackle Jarran Reed earlier this month. To lesser extents, it happened with cornerback Richard Sherman and defensive end Michael Bennett, as well.
