If you can’t beat ’em …
Bobby Wagner apparently decided to join ’em – the Los Angeles Rams, that is.
In doing so, he joins a 2022 Super Bowl champion who had topped his now-former team in five of the last six contests. Wagner’s deal was first reported by an old teammate, Richard Sherman through Twitter in the form of a congratulations that quickly went viral.
“The reigning champs @RamsNFL were just too good to pass up,” he wrote.
Wagner has already indicated he’s looking forward to playing the team that let him go.
Playing against the Seahawks “was a cherry on top,” he said.
Wagner’s contract is a five-year, $50 million deal in Los Angeles that NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported is worth up to $65 million if incentives are reached.
Wagner has spent his entire career, until now, with Seattle.
Over that span, he’s logged 11 interceptions, nearly 1,400 tackles and eight Pro-Bowl honors.
The rich get richer! Lose future HOF @VonMiller and gain future HOF @Bwagz. The @Ravens made a last min push but the Reigning champs @RamsNFL were too good to pass up.
