Es el final de una era en Seattle. El mismo día que los Seahawks apretaron el gatillo en un intercambio que envió al mariscal de campo Russell Wilson a los Denver Broncos, Adam Schefter de ESPN informa que el equipo ha informado al apoyador All-Pro Bobby Wagner que lo dejará en libertad. Este movimiento le ahorra a Seattle $16.6 millones contra el tope salarial y también le permite a Wagner firmar de inmediato con un nuevo equipo antes de que comience la agencia libre la próxima semana.
Wagner ha pasado toda su carrera en la NFL con los Seahawks hasta este momento. El exproducto de Utah State fue seleccionado por el equipo en la segunda ronda del Draft de la NFL de 2012, el mismo draft en el que el equipo seleccionó a Wilson en la tercera ronda.
Desde el principio, Wagner demostró ser un jugador de impacto para la franquicia, ya que comenzó en 15 de sus 16 juegos como novato y totalizó 140 tacleadas junto con dos capturas. Al año siguiente, ayudó a liderar una defensa dominante de Seattle, conocida como la Legion of Boom, a su primer (y único) título de Super Bowl con una victoria dominante de 43-8 sobre los Denver Broncos. En ese juego, Wagner totalizó 10 tacleadas.
Además de levantar un Trofeo Lombardi mientras se ponía un casco de los Seahawks, Wagner fue nombrado All-Pro del primer equipo seis veces y llegó al Pro Bowl en ocho de sus 10 temporadas con el equipo. También fue incluido en el equipo All-Decade de la NFL de 2010 y es ampliamente considerado como uno de los mejores jugadores en la historia de la franquicia.
La temporada pasada, Wagner jugó en 16 juegos y totalizó 170 tacleadas, el máximo de su carrera, junto con cinco pases interrumpidos, un balón suelto forzado y una captura.
Con este lanzamiento y el canje de Wilson, Seattle ha dejado atrás a sus dos jugadores más veteranos en el mismo día.
