**Bobby Wagner**‘s reunion with Dan Quinn will last another year. After being on three teams from 2022-24, Wagner is staying in Washington.
The Commanders have a deal in place with the future Hall of Fame linebacker, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report. The contract includes $8MM guaranteed and can max out at $9.5MM. Wagner continued his run of durability and production, helping the Commanders to one of the most surprising conference championship journeys in NFL history.
This marks Wagner’s fourth contract in four years. After the Seahawks had cut him in 2022, the Rams did the same a year later. Wagner returned to Seattle on a one-year deal in 2023 but left to rejoin Quinn — his defensive coordinator from 2013-14 in Seattle — in Washington. The Commanders benefited from Wagner’s production and leadership, as he played 17 games and continued an astonishing streak.
Last season marked Wagner’s 11th straight earning an All-Pro nod. The former Super Bowl starter collected a second-team accolade for his work in Washington, making him an 11-time All-Pro (six first teams, five second teams). On his way to Canton, Wagner will play a 14th NFL season. He will turn 35 in June.
Wagner, who has missed one game over the past six seasons, made 132 tackles (10 for loss) and added two sacks and two fumble recoveries. Long admirers of Wagner’s work, Pro Football Focus ranked the veteran as last season’s third-best off-ball linebacker. PFF has ranked Wagner as a top-10 ILB 12 times. This has been one of the modern game’s steadiest careers, and Wagner will earn a raise on his 2024 contract (one year, $6.5MM).
More to come.
