On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks announced that they had re-signed All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner to a three-year contract extension. This move gives Wagner the opportunity to finish his career with the team that drafted him in 2012.
Wagner has been a cornerstone of the Seahawks defense since he was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl five times and has been named a first-team All-Pro four times. He has also been named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year twice. In addition, Wagner has been a leader in the locker room and a mentor to younger players.
The Seahawks have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL since Wagner joined the team. They have made the playoffs in seven of his eight seasons and won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013. Wagner has been a major part of this success, as he has been a consistent presence on the field and a leader off it.
The re-signing of Wagner is a major boost for the Seahawks as they look to make another Super Bowl run. Wagner is one of the best linebackers in the league and his presence will help solidify a defense that has been one of the best in the league for years.
Wagner is also excited to finish his career with the team that drafted him. He said in a statement, “I’m excited to be able to finish my career with the team that gave me my start. I’ve had some great memories here and I’m looking forward to making more.”
The re-signing of Bobby Wagner is great news for both the Seahawks and their fans. It gives them an opportunity to make another run at a Super Bowl, while also allowing Wagner to finish his career with the team that gave him his start.
