Sources: LB Wagner, Commanders reach 1-year deal
Written by I Dig Sports
Linebacker Bobby Wagner, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, is returning to the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
In 2024, Wagner was named second-team All-Pro -- the 11th time in his career he made an All-Pro team - and was again voted to the Pro Bowl. He also recorded 100 or more tackles for a 13th consecutive season, tying former Washington linebacker London Fletcher for the second longest streak in NFL history.
Wagner, 34, finished with a team-high 132 tackles and two sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He became a key leader for Washington, which went 12-5 and reached the NFC Championship Game.
Wagner, a second-round pick by the Seahawks in 2012, spent his first 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, where he won a Super Bowl and also was voted to eight Pro Bowls and named to 10 All-Pro teams -- including six on the first team.
Wagner spent the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Rams before returning to Seattle in 2023. In Washington, he reunited with two of his former coaches from Seattle -- Dan Quinn and Ken Norton, Jr.
In 13 seasons, Wagner has 1,838 tackles, 35 sacks, 102 quarterback hits and 13 interceptions.
