The Super Bowl XLVIII had the Seattle Seahawks as champions. Their roster was amazing and full of stars, so that’s why Pete Carroll, the team’s head coach, wants to bring back one member of that team in order to build a competitive squad around him.

During the 2013 season, the Seahawks were the best team in the NFC. They arrived at Super Bowl XLVIII to face the Denver Broncos, and with a blowout win against the AFC West squad, they lifted their first Vince Lombardi trophy.

Unfortunately, the recent seasons have not been the best for them. As they are in a restructure, the team’s front office is tempting a former Super Bowl champion to have a second run with them and fight for another title together.

Seahawks’ front office has been in touch with Bobby Wagner

During the 2013 NFL season, the Seattle Seahawks had an amazing defense. They managed to control Peyton Manning’s offense at the Super Bowl XLVIII and give the NFC West squad its first title.

In that team, Bobby Wagner was a star. The linebacker was drafted in 2012 by the Seahawks and he answered to them with a decade full of high performances to build a very strong defense.

Wagner left the team in 2021 to play for one season with the Los Angeles Rams. However, they decided to cut him and the linebacker is a free agent, so that’s why Pete Carroll is interested in bringing him back.

“We’ve been able to talk to Bobby now and address some of those things, so it’s worked out great,” general manager John Schneider said in his weekly interview with Seattle Sports 710 AM. “We’re gonna be in communication as we go along throughout free agency now.”

Wagner had an impressive 2022 campaign with 140 tackles, but the Rams decided to move on from him tofree up salary cap space. Will he get a second chance with Seattle to fight for another Super Bowl?
