Longtime Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner has unfinished business left in the NFC West.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Wagner and the Los Angeles Rams share a ‘mutual interest’ in reaching a contract to play in Inglewood. Wagner had previously met with the team and general manager Les Snead on Tuesday.
A revenge element will come into play for Wagner, who was a bit sore over his break-up with Seattle. After spending a decade with the Seahawks, Wagner was abruptly cut from the team in March as part of the organization’s rebuild.
