Bobby Wagner’s blunt comment about the Seahawks’ exit raises eyebrows.
After the Seattle Seahawks hired new head coach Mike Macdonald, superstar Bobby Wagner left in free agency and joined with the Washington Commanders.
Wagner discussed his departure from Seattle during an interview on “The Up & Adams Show With Kay Adams” on May 16. “My relationship with the city is always amazing, like always great,” Wagner explained to Adams.
“My relationships with the players, staff, and individuals that work there are always positive. I merely believe that certain higher management handled things incorrectly, and that this is part of the business. You know, you always have such issues, and I’m sure they’ll be resolved with time. I don’t carry grudges or anything like that, so I believe that’s where things stand.
Wagner’s statements sparked speculation among fans and experts about who in upper management mistreated the six-time All-Pro.
The Athletic’s Mike Dugar wrote, “Bobby Wagner discussing his relationship with the Seattle Seahawks is a great example of compartmentalizing.” While Dugar did not identify names, many listeners felt Wagner was referring directly to general manager John Schneider.
