Bobby Wagner remained a strong presence on and off the field for the Washington Commanders in 2025. But for the first time in his future Pro Football Hall of Fame career, age was finally starting to catch up to the veteran linebacker.
Most fans expected Wagner to consider retirement this offseason. The newly crowned Walter Payton Man of the Year no doubt contemplated the possibility, given he'll be 36 when the campaign begins. But the six-time All-Pro made a strong statement as head coaches and general managers descended on Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Wagner fully intends to be back for a 15th season, where he will build on his 2,000 career tackles.
