The Seahawks of modern times may not be quite as good as the Legion of Boom rosters of old. However, this current group is the most talented and colorful that the team has fielded since they were at their peak from 2012-2015. The one carry-over from the glory days is middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, who returned to Seattle this past season after spending one year with the Rams.
Wagner led a defense that was a mix of young risers like Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen, as well as seasoned veterans such as himself and Jarran Reed. Another key vet is free safety Quandre Diggs, who has a well-earned title of biggest trash-talker on the team. Just watch Wagner’s response when he was asked who the Seahawks’ biggest hater is at the annual NFL Honors awards show last weekend.
Bobby picked DK Metcalf as Teammate of the Year.

Funny. As for the 2024 season, Wagner is about to become a free agent so the team has a decision to make there. However, if Bobby is willing to stay for anything remotely near what he did this past season then it’s an easy call to bring him back.
As for Diggs, his contract makes him a good candidate to either get cut or be asked to agree to a restructured deal. We should see GM John Schneider starting to make these kinds of decisions soon.
