Browns Should Pursue Bobby Wagner

The Cleveland Browns are going to have to make some moves to improve their roster, specifically on defense, and a surprising option has become available. The Seattle Seahawks are releasing Bobby Wagner and Cleveland should be interested in his services.

Seahawks informed eight-time All-Pro and Pro-Bowl LB Bobby Wagner, a franchise icon, that they are releasing him, per source.

Wagner arrived in Seattle on the same 2012 day as Russell Wilson and now leaves the same day, too. End of an era in Seattle.

Bobby Wagner is a six-time All-Pro and has been the longtime defensive captain for Seattle. A player like Wagner becoming available is not a scenario that happens often. Wagner is a tackling machine, averaging just over nine tackles per game while missing just 10 games in 10 years. With Cleveland running a defense that is not foreign to Wagner, they should make a push to sign him.

While the Browns have a rising star in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, they still need another linebacker on their defense as contrary to popular belief, linebackers do matter. Pairing Wagner with Owuwu-Koramoah would create a dynamic duo at linebacker that would take the defense to the next level. The Browns have taken shots in back-to-back years with one-year deals for B.J. Goodson and Anthony Walker Jr., with mixed results. Now is the time to take the big swing and attempt to add an elite talent to a defense that truly needs it.
