"Wagner started the last two seasons for Washington, finishing last season as only the third player in NFL history to record 2,000 tackles, which he achieved late in a season finale win over Philadelphia."
"Quinn stated, 'He's like the most remarkable player and leader. I wanted to make sure I said how important he was to me to come here together, like what standards could look like.'"
"Washington expressed the same sentiment to tight end Zach Ertz, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in December, indicating that his return would depend on the team's needs."
"Both Quinn and general manager Adam Peters spoke with Wagner before free agency to let him know of their plans -- for both him and the position."
The Washington Commanders have not closed the door on veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner's return while also progressing with other players in his position. Coach Dan Quinn and general manager Adam Peters communicated their plans to Wagner before free agency. Wagner, a key player for the team, has a remarkable record, including 2,000 tackles and multiple Pro Bowl selections. The team is also considering tight end Zach Ertz's situation, having signed Chig Okonkwo to strengthen their roster.
