• Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Remains in nation's capital

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  The Commanders and Wagner agreed to a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. After spending 11 of the first 12 seasons of his career in the NFC West (11 in Seattle, one with the Rams), Wagner didn't miss a beat in Washington in 2024 while working with a familiar face in coach Dan Quinn, who was the Seahawks' defensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014. In 20 games between the regular season and playoffs for the Commanders, Wagner racked up 157 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, four pass defenses, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. His new deal has $8 million in guarantees with a maximum value of $9.5 million.

• Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Shines in first year with Washington

  Wagner finished the 2024 regular season with 132 tackles (75 solo), four pass defenses, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 17 games. Wagner's IDP value took a hit relative to recent seasons, but his real-life performance remained strong, with the Commanders more than getting their money's worth on a one-year, $6.5 million contract. The 34-year-old was a Second Team All-Pro and earned his 10th Pro Bowl nomination, with he and fellow linebacker Frankie Luvu quickly emerging as the top players on Washington's defense under new coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders presumably will try to re-sign Wagner, but they'll have healthy competition for his services if a contract isn't completed before the start of the new league year.

• Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Cleared to face Philadelphia

  01/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Wagner (ankle) was limited in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles. Wagner missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, as it appears the Commanders have limited his activity level due to a lingering ankle issue. He's played 100 percent of defensive snaps in nine consecutive games, however, so there's no true reason for concern regarding his workload for Sunday's road matchup against Philadelphia. Wagner has tallied eight stops in three straight appearances, and he's also made a half-sack, one pass breakup and a fumble recovery in that span.

• Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Misses Wednesday's practice

  01/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Wagner (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday. The veteran inside linebacker powered through his ankle injury in Saturday's divisional-round win over the Lions, tallying eight total tackles while playing 100 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps. Wagner registered a DNP/DNP/LP practice schedule before playing in the divisional round, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary. However, if the Utah State product can't practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday, he could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia.

  Wagner recorded nine total tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles. The veteran linebacker leads the Commanders' defense in total tackles (118) and forced fumbles (one), while ranking third in tackles for loss (eight) through 15 games this season. Wagner has posted 100-plus total tackles in all 13 of his years in the NFL, and he's expected to remain the Commanders' defensive leader as the Falcons travel to Washington in Week 17.
