Six-time All-Pro LB Bobby Wagner meets with Ravens

The Ravens have “high interest” in Wagner, per Fowler. Wagner has been connected to the Rams, 49ers, Cardinals and Cowboys previously, though Dallas — despite Wagner and Dan Quinn‘s offseason conversations — is not expected to be a top player here. The Broncos have been mentioned as a suitor as well, with Russell Wilson attempting to recruit his longtime teammate.

Baltimore and Los Angeles reside next to one another in terms of cap space, with the Ravens holding just more than $10M and the Rams sitting at barely $8M. Neither team has a notable veteran off-ball linebacker contract on its books, though the Ravens used a first-round pick on Patrick Queen two years ago. The Rams are not big on devoting much in the way of funding to this role, given their big-ticket deals at higher-priority positions, but Wagner’s pedigree has GM Les Snead considering an exception.

Wagner, 31, has made the past eight Pro Bowls and is one of the few six-time All-Pros in NFL history. He is one shy of Raven cornerstone Ray Lewis‘ seven, though Wagner reached six quicker than the first-ballot Hall of Famer did. The Seahawks made Wagner a cap casualty hours after trading Wilson, severing ties with the franchise’s Super Bowl cornerstones. Despite missing a game, Wagner recorded a career-high 170 tackles last season. The longtime Seattle middle linebacker has missed just three games in the past seven seasons.
