Bobby Wagner Reveals Unsavoury Details About His Seahawks Exit: ‘I Didn’t Even Hear It From Them That I Wasn’t Coming Back

Bobby Wagner becomes the second superstar to be released by the Seahawks after Russell Wilson this season. The eight-time Pro-Bowl linebacker was a valuable asset for the team for so many years. What’s more distressing to hear is that the star player was never informed about his release from the team.

On Wednesday, the Seahawks fans had to bear the pain of one more champion leaving their side. It’s still unclear who will become the substitute for him.

But his release had raised many eyebrows as to why the club is releasing such professional and experienced players from the team. Moreover, the way how the Seahawks are treating their players according to Wagner’s revelation is much more painful to hear.

Bobby Wagner: A champion linebacker

The 31-year-old athlete is one of the most experienced and greatest players in NFL history. His journey began at a very tender age and was first drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2012. His career kick-started from the same team to which he has contributed his valuable 10 years. After he was released by the Seahawks on Wednesday, Wagner posted an emotional yet revealing message for his fans.

The star linebacker claimed that he was never informed about his release, which was indeed an unexpected move by the club. Wagner was about to make $16.6 million this year and a $20.3 million salary cap hit next season, according to his three-year contract of $54 million. During his decade with the franchise, Wagner has made around 1381 tackles, which is a record of all time for the Seahawks.

Although Wagner had to make an abrupt exit, he will be hitting the trade market with great expectations. No doubt, teams are ready to rope him in with specifically Cowboys eying for the star linebacker.

Russel Wilson unexpectedly traded

The five-time Pro-Bowl quarterback had to leave the Seahawks in a blockbuster deal with the Broncos. Certainly, an unexpected move, which has the potential to shift the entire landscape of the NFL. Wilson’s trade was later quoted as the deal of the century by many experts because the strength he provided to the team was unreal.

And it will be delightful to watch what’s in the Seahawks bag that is brewing for the upcoming NFL season.
