Bobby Wagner surprised the NFL world by signing with the Rams in the offseason. After the Seahawks released him, Wagner, who represented himself in free agency, was the one to express his interest in coming to Los Angeles.
Wagner texted Rams general manager Les Snead to reach out and began exploring the possibility of joining the Rams, as he did with many general managers in the league. The problem was, initially, no one on the Rams thought the text message was real.
“Everybody thought it was a fake,” Wagner said, via The Los Angeles Times’ Gary Klein.
