Bobby Wagner: Russ Tried to Recruit Him to Denver Before Trade Happened

[BleuEyedHawk]

Interesting interview with Bobby on the Rich Eisen show. He explains how he became aware that he wouldn't be back in Seattle and said that Russ reached out to him a week before Russ's trade became public to recruit him to the Broncos.

Again, I'm so disappointed that Bobby is gone. I understand, but don't like it.

Link is to Yahoo article with embedded interview. (I don't have Twitter).

Bobby Wagner: Russell Wilson tried to recruit him to Broncos before trade

Wagner said no, claiming his heart was in Seattle.

Edited: Sorry, I didn't see the almost identical post on the Seahawks forum. Tried to delete this but couldn't.

Being discussed already in this thread:

Bobby says Russ tried to recruit him to Denver 1 week before trade

Hopefully this counts as seahawks related because it happened when they were both on the team. Bobby just had a very eye opening interview with rich Eisen and said his heart is in Seattle. Its a very good interview and makes me so sad he's gone. What a professional. The eye opening thing is...

It's in Seahawk main..Not sure if that one should have been in here.
Merge both into one here maybe?

I saw that about a minute after I posted this and tried to delete before anyone noticed (ha), but while posts can be removed, I don't think a thread can be (unless a mod does it).

It happens more than you think..It's not a big deal
A mod can wipe or merge I think.

must admit. It is WEIRD to see Bobby at Rams now being all close to Kupp.

this is gonna take some time. I still view him as a Hawk.

I gotta imagine, this is like my AD putting on a Seahwks uniform. I’d immediately burst into tears.

So, nobody is gonna bring up the fact that Bobby was so upset he wasn't told about his release but now he says he knew about it a week before it happened?

We like Bobby, it’s forgiven immediately
