Should Seahawks trade Wagner to Patriots?

Look at all those cheap LBs the Patriots have.

Trading Wagner sounds like a savvy Pats move, not trading for him with that contract.

No He should retire a Hawk

Linebacker is a pretty easy position to replace... I’d do it only if the corespondent move is cutting Cody Barton.

Please no. Keep him.

Why would they trade for Wagner with all those cheap LB's and spend 8 million plus on one guy?

Yeah you are right. Only one of two players to average so many tackles a year spanning many years, but yeah...easy to replace.

Depends on the compensation. It'd have to total up to the value of a mid first (18th or better). Otherwise, he's of more value on the field here. Need to have a good chance at another blue-chip guy.

Would probably piss the locker room off pretty badly, plus you're losing one of the leagues best linebackers... the compensation is gonna have to be premium for the trade to be worth it, and I don't think any team would give up that much.

Why would the Patriots want an expensive dude at the end of his career when they are a rebuilding mess right now?

30 is the end of his career... as a LB? ROFL oh jesus

No keep him.

You think we should keep despite having to pay him a lot and his play declining? Please defend your point.

I'd normally say keep him, but the Seahawks are down so many picks it would be wise to trade him for a day 2 pick if they can get it. Save some cap space and the Jordyn Brooks era can begin in earnest.

Where is his play declining? Defend your point! Let's see if you can name the only thing he can get better at because it's the same thing he has lacked his whole career and something most linebackers never do?

The Patriots are loaded at LB, so they won't be trading for Wagner.

Next year would be the year to trade or cut him. $20M cap hit vs. $3.75M dead money.

NO !!!!
NO, NO, NO
no, no, no.

Perverts. NO !!!

Using the Fanspeak Ultimate GM simulator, where you can now...trade players for draft picks, the best I could get for Wagz was...a early third and late 5th. I did better trading Tre Flowers and our 6th rd pick....1st in third & late 4th

Considering we don't know if KJ is coming back I'd rather restructure Bobby's contract to give us some cap room, rather than trade him.

As good as he's been, I doubt any team would want to take on the last two years of his deal without also restructuring. So why don't we just do that so we only have to replace one LB spot, and not two.

IMO Brooks is the long term plan at MLB, but if both Bobby and KJ are gone, then the WIL and SAM spots are vacant......and you're sure as heck not finding two starting LB's with only four draft picks.

Although my heart wants to keep him, my brain agrees with Fade, trading him now makes so much sense,

Really? Tre Flowers has high trade value then Bobby? Not doubting you but just couldn't wrap arms around that idea.
