The Los Angeles Rams are signing veteran free agent Bobby Wagner, per a team announcement on Thursday afternoon.
The middle linebacker has reportedly earned a 5-yr, $50M contract to remain in the NFC West. Wagner will now face the Seattle Seahawks - his former team in which he had spent the last 10 seasons prior to being released - twice a year for the foreseeable future.
Signing Wagner to such a large deal is a departure from the Rams’ typical team building approach to the inside linebacker position.
