Bobby Wagner Potentially on New England Patriots Radar After Patriots’ LB Reaches Out to Free Agent

The release of linebacker Bobby Wagner was something no one predicted to happen. This was among the two big moves that the Seattle Seahawks made after the trade announcement of quarterback Russell Wilson. As a result, Wagner can sign with a team as he moves further in his career.

Wagner, 31 years old, is still one of the top players in the league at his position. He’ll easily be one of the top free agents available. On the open market, Wagner can generate considerable interest across the league.

However, there is one team that has showcased an interest in bringing in the All-Pro linebacker. This makes us wonder who benefits from having a future Hall of Famer and a seasoned veteran in the league?

Is Bobby Wagner a future Patriot?

New-England Patriots LB Matthew Judon recently took to Twitter and reaches out to Bobby Wagner with a tweet, jokingly greeting him after the Seahawks made the big announcement.

This offseason, the Patriots must strengthen in linebackers. The current squad lacks the quality and ability to slow down the league’s best offense. Moreover, New England’s top linebackers, Dont’a Hightower and Ja’Whaun Bentley will enter free agency, thus the Patriots’ front office may be on the search for replacements well.

Probable Landing Spots for Wagner

Bobby Wagner became the second big consequence of the Seahawks, as the team released him to save $16.6 million in salary space.

The 31-year-old middle linebacker was in the final year of a 3-year, $54 million contract. Even though the Patriots can bring the MLB during free agency, they can also pick a linebacker from the draft. The athlete has a stat record of 1383 combined tackles, 68 tackles for loss, 78 QB hits, and 1 touchdown in his entire career.

The Chargers can surely look to strengthen the team, given the fact that they have the highest cap space this year. Even the Broncos, who have Russell Wilson as the quarterback, can bring in the old friends together, making a formidable force.

The Jets, Panthers, and the Browns also look like a great destination for LB Bobby. Only time will tell where the athlete will head over as his next career path.
