It’s free! Paying everyone’s bills at Safeway was one good deed Bobby Wagner couldn’t keep quiet

RENTON — One of the most vital on-field jobs for Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wagner is to call and set the defense before every play. Often, that requires a spur-of-the-moment decision to change things up based on what he sees out of the offense, something that he obviously does well, given the success of the Seattle defense since he arrived in 2012.

Tuesday, Wagner put that ability to call an audible to use in a different capacity — deciding on the fly to pay the grocery bills for customers at the Admiral Safeway in West Seattle.

Wagner was there to help box up Thanksgiving meals for some of the nine tiny house homeless villages run by the Low Income Housing Institute, an organization he has been working with since last summer.
