Source: Seahawks reach 1-year, $7M deal to bring back Bobby Wagner

SEATTLE -- Bobby Wagner is coming back to where he built a Hall of Fame resume.

The free-agent linebacker has agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal to return to the Seattle Seahawks, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.

The move reunites the Seahawks with arguably the greatest defensive player in franchise history and fills a significant need in their linebacker corps. And it signals that the fences have been mended following his messy departure last offseason.

The news was broken by Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs, who had been publicly stumping for Wagner's return ever since Wagner and the Los Angeles Rams agreed to part ways earlier last month.
