On the heels of the news of Russell Wilson reportedly being traded to the Denver Broncos, linebacker Bobby Wagner will also be released from the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. FOX13
Wagner has played 10 seasons with the Seahawks and arrived in Seattle on the same day as Wilson during the 2012 NFL Draft. Wagner is a six-time first-team All-Pro selection and eight-time Pro Bowl selection.Head coach Pete Carroll said last week that they expected to play with Wagner this season. However, he also noted that Wagner's contract would be a factor in that decision.," Carroll said. "We love playing with Bobby. He’s been a great player, another great season.
Seattle was listed as having $36.7 million in cap space via the NFL Players' Association database prior to the trade of Wilson to Denver. The $11 million Seattle saved against the cap from moving Wilson is entirely offset by the contracts the team added with the acquisitions of quarterback Drew Lock, defensive end Shelby Harris, and tight end Noah Fant.
Wagner will be free to sign with another team as soon as he is released. Players on expiring contracts will have to wait until the new league year begins next Wednesday to sign with new teams.
