Bobby Wagner has been a crucial part of the LA Rams’ defense. There’s no doubt that the linebacker is an asset. But for the second consecutive season, Wagner dropped a bombshell on fans. The LA Rams were unable to extend their 2021-22 season dominance. A slew of injuries to key players resulted in a subpar season where they did not make the playoffs this year. And now, Rams fans received news that left them shaking their heads in disappointment. Here’s a look at what happened.

Bobby Wagner left Rams fans disappointed

For the second consecutive season, Bobby Wagner is a free agent. Despite signing a 5 year $50 million deal with the Rams, the linebacker and the franchise have decided to mutually part ways. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, clearance of cap space prompted this decision from the franchise’s perspective.

Wagner has been nothing short of a key asset on the field. As a defensive weapon, he’s sure to be heavily sought after by other franchises. But the most recent update about the 32-year-old makes his departure from the Rams even more saddening.
