Commanders are signing 6-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner, AP sources say
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Commanders are making a big splash in free agency by signing linebacker Bobby Wagner. The six-time All-Pro linebacker has agreed to join the team, according to two people familiar with the deal. One person confirmed it’s a one-year contract worth up to $8.5 million with $6 million in guaranteed money. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because it had not been announced. Wagner led the NFL with 183 tackles last season. He becomes the centerpiece of remade defense for new coach Dan Quinn. Wagner played for Quinn in 2013 and 2014 when he was defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.

Jenkins is a significant addition for Seattle. He has started every game he’s played in since the start of the 2019 season, a streak of 79 games. Seattle also announced it had tendered cornerback Michael Jackson and linebacker Jon Rhattigan, and agreed to an extension with pass rusher Darrell Taylor.
