Former Arkansas offensive tackle Dalton Wagner made some news in December 2021 when he was tabbed as potential WWE star.
That will be on hold for now.
Wagner signed a free-agent deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. He signed for a guaranteed $225,000, making him the highest-paid of the Raiders’ nondrafted signees. And it’s a solid sign Las Vegas thinks Wagner could make the regular-season roster.
Wagner started all four seasons at Arkansas and at 6-foot-8, 320 pounds, he has the prototypical size for the position in the pros (wrestling, too, incidentally).
The Illinois native allowed just two sacks last year – both against Alabama – and only 11 during his four seasons as starter. The season saw him named first-team All-SEC by Pro Football Focus.
