Bobby Wagner re-signs with the Seahawks

[Adiba1977]

I said it two weeks ago...once LVE was resigned, Dallas wasn't going to sign him and he was just looking for a biggest deal he could get and in the end, the biggest only deal he could get was a one year deal back to Seattle...

But why? We need better lb play!!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

FINALLY NOW WE CAN PUT THIS TO REST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would have been nice, we will find out later when he has a mic in his face how low the Cowboys offer was

 

[Coogiguy03]

Man…we should have made that happen. $7 mil for that guy? Coulda, shoulda IMO. I like LVE but Wagner is waaaay better and more durable. Oh well….

Soon as LVE gets injured, fans are going to revolt!! lol

I know everyone thinks why not us, but no other team made a better offer ?

I think at this point I’m his career he’s choosing where he wants to go and it’s not necessarily to the highest bidder.

This may be hard for some to understand, exp the likes Madden Football and all.. But these players are real people with real life choices to make.

Maybe the Cowboys did offer Wagner more, he just simply declined the offer.

Wagner stated that he didn’t want to go anywhere when Seattle decided to move on. His family is still in Seattle and consequently, so is his home. Wouldn’t surprise me, nor would I blame him, that he turned down a better offer from the Cowboys to be closer to his family. It was prob hard on them last year. So returning to Seattle where he’s considered one of their best players all time, seems like an easy decision.

This quote from Seattle times article last year:
-When Bobby Wagner packs up and leaves Seattle for Los Angeles soon for the beginning of training camp, he says it’s not “goodbye” but “see you later.”

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

May not have anything to do with them.
why assume they could have done this. Maybe he just wanted to return to Seattle.

Melt downs are funny.

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

You know no state tax just means you pay for it in other ways, right?

Good post.
But some fans rather call the FO names and whine.

Plus, They still have to pay state taxes in those states of away games.

 

[Adiba1977]

Y’all funny. I would bet cowboys never offered him a contract. Hopefully truth comes out.

Still deal worth thousands. Simple math

Why does it matter? And if something comes out, will you melt down over it too?
And how do we know how true it would be, from some reporter.

Oh yes always better with no state taxes. I was just pointing out they still pay state taxes for half of those games.
But if they have endorsements then yeah great incentive.

Man,
I believe he could have made a very positive impact at the second level of the dee. Possibly even turning this side of the ball from good to dominant.
CCBoy posted earlier about how impactful his presence could have been and I thought it was spot on.

 

[btgboys41]

Maybe strong leaders that aren’t buds with Jerry scare them off. Who knows but sure seemed like a good player and profile to add to this defense and inexpensively too.

 

[infamousstyles]

Lol ah yes...the yearly we missed out of Bobby Wagner thread. It's so simple....get some legit help for micah and watch him reek havoc.... but nope.

 

[TRUTH87]

Lol alot of u guys deserve the last 27 years

eh i’m fine not signing Wagner. once we signed LVE he wasn’t gonna get signed here.

Yup. And since he already has a home in Seattle, he'd have to buy or rent a new place in Tx.

The whole "not state income tax" argument is always a joke. States need money. They are gonna get it somehow. Some states figured out how to fool people into thinking they are paying less.

Maybe he did not want to move

Right.
Property taxes higher in Texas and Florida, are higher. Sales taxes a little higher as well In Texas. i think 1% higher than Florida.
