Bobby Wagner re-signs with the Seahawks

[America's Cowboy]

1000% wouldve done this than bring back VanderEsch

No way. Bobby Wagner was looking for who would pay him the most $.

Cowboys resigned LVE for 2 years for a total of $8 million.

Bobby Wagner will be turning 33 in June.

LVE barely turned 27 in February. Plus, LVE had his best productive season (2022: 90 combined tackles and 1 sack) since his rookie season (2018: 140 combined tackles and 2 INTs). He has been gradually improving the past 3 seasons since his neck injury/surgery, so signs show he's likely to keep improving. For the price, Cowboys made the right choice.

Hard to claim you're all in on winning when you don't make this move.

He is levels better than Vander Esch.

But 2 levels below Damone Clark.

We would have had to offer him enough to leave the west coast AND turn down an offer from his former team...........100% confident $7m wouldn't cut it.

 

[Bobhaze]

Hmmm. Is he on the decline? Why only a 1 year deal? Why only $7M? Did the Cowboys get involved at all? Did they make an official offer? Did Wagner ever consider coming to Dallas?

Until we get some answers, we'll never know why this seems kind of wonky.

Wagner has shown no decline. He’s missed 1 game since 2016 and was a top 5 rated LB by PFF last year.

I don’t think people are mad AFTER LVE…it more why not for that price instead of LVE

I'm sure because they went younger and cheaper. With somebody they know

Dumb and dumber strike again. Should have given him the 7 million

We won’t do 7m for Wagner? Lol damn

 

[Adiba1977]

1 year 7 million he signed. That’s hard for you to understand? He’s lot better lb than we have. I would given him 8 million.

 

[Havic]

Sucks but go get D-Hop and sign a DT and I'll survive.

If that was the asking price with the Cowboys back then. We dont know if he was asking for more and multiple years.
Seahawks may have gotten little home town discount or market drying up?

 

[SlammedZero]

Are any of you surprised? Lol

I like what LVE did last season. No problem. Just explaining the issue many might have

 

[Adiba1977]

Cause we either low balled him or more than likely made no offer. Bad move. Expected from our dummy owners son who is horrible

 

[kiheikiwi]

Welp, this year, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt - until proven otherwise.
Main reason for hoping he came here would have been to mentor all the LBers in the room - including LVE.
Oh well, guess we are drafting someone relatively high ....

But the deal wouldn't have been 1 year for 7 mill. He'd need far more to go somewhere else. The dude likely still has a home in Seattle and the team was unexpectedly decent last year without Wilson.

 

[Malhavoc]

Seattle was the best offer of all teams needing a LB ?

Bs. Texas no state tax so saves $$ there. They didn’t offer him cause they are clueless and cheap.

*** I thought he was gonna get paid. Now I’m mad.
