The Washington Commanders re-signed linebacker Bobby Wagner to a one-year, $9.5 million deal, according to multiple reports.

Wagner is one of the most prolific linebackers of the modern era, selected to 10 Pro Bowls and 11 All-Pro teams, including six times voted to the first team. Wagner also won the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent the first 10 years of his career.

Last offseason, the Commanders signed the veteran to a one-year deal. The 34-year-old proved he still had plenty left in the tank, racking up 132 combined tackles, 10 tackles for loss, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries.

In addition, Wagner recorded a 91.0 PFF pass rush grade (third-highest among linebackers) and 90.8 PFF run defense grade (highest among linebackers).

Subsequently, Wagner was, once again, selected to the Pro Bowl and named a second-team All-Pro.

In 2023, the Commanders’ defense allowed the most points per game in the NFL (30.5). Led by Wagner, their defense was respectable last season, allowing the 18th-most points per game (23.0).
