Report: Wagner to show up for
camp, but ‘be cautious’ pending deal
By BOB CONDOTTA
Seattle Times
Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wag-
ner indicated last spring that he wouldn’t
hold out even if training camp began and he
did not have a new contract, and he appears
to be following through with that plan.
But actually playing in games during the
2019 season will apparently take getting
a new deal, one that would make him the
highest-paid linebacker in the NFL, accord-
ing to a report from NFL Net-
work’s Ian Rapoport.
Players take the fi eld for the
fi rst practice of the season on
Thursday.
Wagner apparently intends
to continue what he did during the offseason
program — skipping on fi eld drills or any-
thing in which he could get injured — until
he has a new contract.
“He may not put himself in harm’s way
until a deal gets done, and he’ll be cau-
tious,” the report said. But he’ll be there.”
That’s basically what Wagner did during
OTAs and minicamp, showing up and tak-
ing part in meetings, but standing off to the
side when the team did anything on the fi eld.
“I will be here — that will be my partic-
ipation,” Wagner said in May. “... I am hon-
oring the contract, I am here, participating,
helping the young guys to be the best they
can be. So I am here and that’s what I want
to do.”
But anything more than that — such as
playing in games — will apparently take
signing on the dotted line.
Wagner is entering the fi nal season of a
four-year contract he signed just as camp
began in 2015 worth up to $43 million with
a base salary in 2019 of $10.5 million.
But Wagner wants what the Seahawks
have often done with their core players and
did with him in 2015 — a new deal before
he enters the fi nal season of his old one. And
as he said in May, what he’d like is a new
contract that matches or surpasses the $17
million per-year average that the New York
Jets gave linebacker C.J. Mosley in March.
That contract blew away the inside line-
backer market — Carolina’s Luke Kuechly
had been the highest-paid inside linebacker
at $12.3 million per year, with Wagner next
at $10.75 million.
But Wagner said in May that’s what he
wants: What Mosley got.
“I mean, the number is the number, the
market is the market,” Wagner said. “...
That’s the top (of the) linebacker market.
That is the standard. And so that is the plan,
to break that.”
Wagner is serving as his own agent,
which he said he was doing in part because
it’s obvious what the market is and he didn’t
need anyone to tell what he wants.
The Seahawks and Wagner have
been thought to be negotiat-
ing, but there have been no
real leaks over the last few
months about the progress
of any talks. Coach Pete Car-
roll said in the spring the two
sides had agreed not to talk about the nego-
tiations. That Wagner is serving as his own
agent, thereby decreasing the number of
people who might know anything, also may
be contributing to little leaking along the
way.
The Seahawks have often gotten deals
done with key players right as camp begins
— Wagner signed his current deal on Aug.
3, 2015, just after Russell Wilson signed his
on July 31. Kam Chancellor also signed an
extension right as camp began in 2017, and
Duane Brown and Tyler Lockett did so last
year.
That target date has still been considered
as likely for Wagner.
But Wagner at the least appears to be
making clear to the team that there is at least
some urgency to get a deal done if they want
him on the fi eld anytime soon.
Wagner had said last spring that he was
preparing for this season as if it could be his
last in Seattle, just in case.
Asked later about that statement, he
said he hoped he wouldn’t have to follow
through with that plan.
“As of right now there is no other years
for me left here so that was just a very hon-
est opinion that if I don’t get a deal done,
that’s it (in Seattle),” he said in May. “But I
believe there is something that can happen.”
While he waited for a new contract, Wag-
ner tweeted that he was spending the last day
of the offseason driving around the Seattle
area, delivering supplies to people in need.
