Seahawks notebook: Mutant ninja linebacker? Bobby Wagner wants part in ‘TMNT’ sequel

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is a huge fan of the cartoon series “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” going so far in the past as to publicly carry around a green shell backpack. In fact, he’s such a big fan of the fictional reptiles named after four Renaissance artists, Wagner wants to play a part in the next “TMNT” movie.
