The Seattle Seahawks gave Bobby Wagner a four-year, $43 million extension yesterday, per Pro Football Talk -- that's nearly $11 million for every new year, with two of those years guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport. And with that, the Seahawks have now set the market for Lavonte David and the extension he's likely to receive from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wagner is now the highest-paid off-the-ball linebacker in the NFL.
Now that Seattle LB Bobby Wagner signed a new 4-year/$43M deal, it should be a boilerplate & pave the way for TB's LB Lavonte David as well.
