I'm too lazy to post it, but there was an article out where Wagner was great against the run but played poorly more often than not in coverage. Maybe we want someone that can cover backs out of the backfield better due to the league being more pass happy?
It's been a pass happy league for years now and how many times did we watch the Ram D get trampled in the run game?

Yes very true, but those run stoppers at LB don't usually cost much. We also won a SB without Wagner. It wouldn't surprise me if Wagner wanted to rework his contract since none of it was guaranteed.

Wagner ends back in Seattle?


A potential Seahawks reunion?

Wagner’s impending release is relevant to the Seahawks, who have a need at inside linebacker. Cody Barton replaced Wagner in Seattle’s starting lineup last season and produced mixed results. He’ll be a free agent on March 15.

Third-year linebacker Jordyn Brooks, Seattle’s other starter at the position, had surgery on Jan. 19 to repair a torn ACL. It’s unclear when he’ll be ready to play again. The ability to talk to Wagner now potentially gives the Seahawks a head start on addressing their need before the official start of free agency. — Dugar

Wagner’s reputation in Seattle

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll didn’t want to release Wagner last offseason and said during a news conference last March that he implored Seattle general manager John Schneider to exhaust all options before making the “heartbreaking” decision to release their defensive captain. He said they delayed the move as long as they could “because I love him so much.”

Wagner went on to have a productive season in Los Angeles and played well in both games against the Seahawks. Carroll saw firsthand what Wagner has left in the tank. It would make sense for Carroll to have interest in a possible reunion. — Dugar

Wagner wants to win. Going to Seattle and leaving us makes sense.
