The Seattle Seahawks are undergoing a sea change.
Of course, the big news was the trade of quarterback Russell Wilson, who is headed to the Denver Broncos as part of a blockbuster trade that rocked the football world on Tuesday afternoon.
But the team is also going to part ways with their defensive leader. After a long career in Seattle, the team informed linebacker Bobby Wagner that they are going to release him prior to the start of free agency. That will allow Wagner to sign with a new team immediately, while also saving the Seahawks nearly $17 million in cap space.
What might the market look like for Wagner? To answer that we start with what he still does well as an NFL linebacker, and then work through some potential landing spots for his services.
