After joining the Rams in free agency, Bobby Wagner took issue with the report about Russell Wilson trying to recruit him.

According to the linebacker, he did talk to Wilson. But it was just a friendly conversation amongst longtime friends.

It wouldn’t come as a big shock if Russell Wilson approached Bobby Wagner about joining the Broncos.

After all, the Seahawks made their direction clear with the Wilson trade. And Wagner will undoubtedly want to compete as he enters the twilight of his career.

Luckily for both Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, they both have pretty good situations for next season.

Who knows, maybe we’ll see the longtime friends meet up in the Super Bowl this season.
