Bobby Wagner Fantasy

Following a procedure done on his lower body earlier in training camp, All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner returned to practice for the first time on Friday. Wagner had received a platelet-rich injection for a vague "lower-body thing" earlier in camp, but head coach Pete Carroll said he's champing at the bit to get back at it. Carroll also left the door open for Wagner to appear in a preseason game, though he made it clear that nothing's set in stone yet. Wagner was re-signed to the largest linebacker contract in history this offseason and is the keystone of Seattle's defense. Expect the team to take special caution before turning him loose.

The Seattle Seahawks successfully signed inside linebacker Bobby Wagner to a contract extension on Friday. Wagner's 3-year, $54 million contract makes him the highest-paid inside linebacker in the league, and he'll help solidify Seattle's defense for the next wave of fresh talent. The All-Pro is widely considered one of the two or three best inside linebackers in football, and he is being paid handsomely for it. While Wagner is a critical piece of Seattle's defense, he alone is not enough to vault them into the top echelon in the league. He'll need some help and growth amongst younger players for Seattle's defense to be a renowned unit once again.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is aiming to become the league's highest paid linebacker. Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley will make $17 million a year on his new deal. Wagner made $10.750 million per season on his previous deal. He'll turn 29 in June and is entering the final year of his current deal in 2019. Wagner can be a lockdown player in both the run and pass game, but it remains to be seen if Seattle will accommodate his lofty demands for his next deal. He is attending voluntary organized team activities but won't participate without a new deal.
