Seattle Seahawks HC Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider Drop Truth Bombs On Bobby Wagner Release: ‘The Organization Owes It To Him’

Bobby Wagner and his dismissal from the Seahawks have sparked outrage throughout the NFL world. Following the mishandling of the incident, the athlete also lashed out at the organization. Seattle Head Coach Pete Carroll and General Manager John Schneider, on the other hand, appear to have accepted culpability for the unforeseeable circumstances.

The situation happened during the monumental trade of Seahawks’ veteran quarterback, Russell Wilson. Since that moment, the franchise has been in the news. The release of Bobby Wagner took the headlines by storm, as it was an unbelievable action by Seattle. Ultimately, Wagner has become one of the most reliable linebackers in the NFL.

Are the Seattle Seahawks’ executives to blame?

Bobby Wagner’s tweet came three days after they revealed that the Seahawks had released him. However, he had already learned about the scheme.

After the athlete’s call out, head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider of the Seattle Seahawks apologized for the manner they processed Wagner’s severance, saying they deplore how their long-serving defensive captain heard of the team’s decision.

According to ESPN, Schneider and Carroll have been asked out about the incident during their first press conference since the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday. Schneider said, “Yeah, that’s on me. I own that.”

Even though Carroll intervened, claiming responsibility, Schneider persisted, “No, it really is [on me]. I wish I could have handled things better in that regard from a communication standpoint. I owe it to him. The organization owes it to him.”

According to Carroll, the Seahawks were undecided about releasing Wagner right from the beginning. Carroll had stated at the NFL combine that he anticipated Wagner to stay in Seattle. However, he also stated that the WR’s destiny was questionable.

What’s next for Bobby Wagner?

Bobby Wagner, a Utah State alum, is a second-round pick of the 2012 NFL Draft and helped the Seahawks win their first and only Super Bowl. For the first time in his career, he is currently a free agent and stands unsigned.

In 151 games, Wagner had 1,383 tackles, 68 tackles for loss, 60 pass defenses, 23.5 sacks, 11 interceptions, and six forced fumbles. His on-field excellence has won him eight Pro Bowl choices, six All-Pro selections, and a berth on the All-2010s Team of the Hall of Fame.

Bobby Wagner appears to receive a message from their other 2012 draftee, who is a potential Hall of Famer. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Broncos’ new QB Russell Wilson is seeking to recruit Wagner to Denver. Aside from the Broncos, the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, and Philadelphia Eagles appear to be viable options. Ultimately, the 31-year-old will most likely have a say in where he goes.
