Wagner logged 10 total tackles (five solo), including three tackles for loss, during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers. Wagner impressed in his first game with the Commanders despite Washington's poor defensive effort as a unit, logging double-digit tackles and leading the team in tackles for loss. The All-Pro linebacker spent his 2023 campaign with Seattle, logging 183 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games. Expect Washington's new tackling machine to continue making plays as the Commanders take on the Giants in Week 2.

The Commanders signed Wagner on Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Wagner will head to Washington, where he will instantly help reinforce a thin linebacking corps. In his second stint with the Seahawks last season, the 33-year-old compiled a career-high 183 tackles (96 solo) and will now look to repeat that level of production for the Commanders during the upcoming campaign.

Wagner finished with 183 tackles (96 solo), 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery across 17 games in 2023. For the third time in his career, Wagner led the NFL in tackles, setting a career high in the category this season. The veteran linebacker will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but with no major signs of decline and a clear leadership role on the team, the Seahawks will likely try to bring him back for his 13th season in the league.

Wagner finished Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers with 14 tackles (four solo). Wagner reached double-digit tackles for the third straight game and has played every single defensive snap since Week 10. His 168 total tackles is second in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (170), and the former is two stops away from matching his career high set in 2021.

Wagner totaled eight tackles (four solo) in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday. Though Wagner's tackle total was very respectable, he actually finished with his lowest number in that category since making just four stops Week 6 versus Cincinnati. That speaks to his elite level of production this season -- through 11 contests, he leads Seattle and ranks fifth in the NFL with 113 total stops. Wagner is on pace to reach 150 tackles for the fourth time in his career.
