Bobby Wagner played the first decade of his career for the Seattle Seahawks. Over the final years of that run, he was first- or second-team All-Pro for eight straight seasons. To fans, it seemed like he would always be their middle linebacker.
Of course, he wasn’t.
Teams change. Rosters and salary structures require tinkering. Wagner went to the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. He was only there for one year before returning to the great northwest, where he led the NFL in tackles during his final season as a Seahawk.
After that, he came to the Washington Commanders.
