The Los Angeles Rams and Bobby Wagner mutually agreed to part ways on Thursday, leading fans and players alike to thank the veteran linebacker for his performance this past season. Following Wagner’s release, Jalen Ramsey took to social media to speak about how special it was to play alongside Wagner in 2022.
I embrace & appreciate every moment now a days forreal because I never know what the future holds. It was a real deal dream come true to play on the same defense as you @Bwagz ! Much love & respect! 🤟🏾
Excited for the next chapter for you! pic.twitter.com/3COIrCAJwr

When Wagner was released by the Seattle Seahawks after the 2021 season, the Rams immediately became a desired destination for the California native. Wagner would sign with the Rams ahead of the 2022 campaign and he immediately became a leader on and off the field.
Despite being 32 years old and playing in his 11th season, Wagner produced 140 combined tackles, a career-best six sacks, five pass breakups, and two interceptions. The All-Pro linebacker proved that he can still play at an elite level and having the trio of Wagner, Ramsey, and Aaron Donald was valuable until injuries plagued the entire Rams’ roster.
Considering how he performed this past season, Wagner will likely have quite a few suitors this offseason as he’ll likely want to join a contender ahead of next season. Even though Wagner was with the Rams for only one season, Ramsey relished the opportunity to suit up next to the (likely) future Hall of Famer.
