A chance to play near family in Ontario, where he starred at Colony High, guided the linebacker’s decision after the Seahawks released him.
Free-agent football players have lots of reasons to join the Rams these days. Only Bobby Wagner can add this reason: SoFi Stadium is freeway-close to Ontario.
“They always had to get on a plane to come see me. Now it’s a drive. So I’m excited to be able to be in front of my family, be closer to home and kind of re-establish myself out in L.A.” “One of the biggest things when I was at Colony was, our team was kind of forgotten about. Everybody would go to L.A., the L.A. teams,” Wagner said. “I always wanted to, whenever I was fortunate enough and blessed enough to make it to the league, not forget about Colony and that area.”Wagner, who doesn’t have an agent, negotiated a Rams contract that is worth as much as $50 million over five seasons but allows him to opt out after collecting $17.
Before signing Wagner, Snead, Coach Sean McVay and defensive coordinator Raheem Morris had to figure out how adding a star inside linebacker for the first time in the Rams’ recent history would help the team.
