Episode Details

Bobby Wagner, the 36-year-old veteran linebacker and future Hall of Famer, is a free agent after the Commanders moved on from their defensive core—but his legacy isn’t slowing down. With 162 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions in 2025, he’s proving age is just a number, adding to his 14 straight seasons of 100+ tackles. Recently honored as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, Wagner credits his mother for his drive and shares how his off-field impact matches his on-field excellence. Analysts point to the Jacksonville Jaguars as a prime fit—they’re hungry, competitive, and could use his leadership. With 11 All-Pro nods, 10 Pro Bowls, and just 60 tackles away from breaking Ray Lewis’s all-time record, Wagner isn’t done. He’s still a top-tier starter on a one-year, $9M deal—and could be chasing history in 2026.
