The Commanders signed Wagner on Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner will head to Washington where he will instantly help reinforce a thin linebacking core. In his second stint with the Seahawks last season, the 33-year-old compiled a career-high 183 tackles (96 solo) and will now look to repeat that level of production for the Commanders during the upcoming campaign.

Wagner is expected to test the free agency market this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner is viewed as unlikely to return to the Seahawks in 2024 after having a resurgent 2023 campaign in Seattle, recording a career-high 183 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, while deflecting three passes and recovering a fumble over 17 games. The linebacker will turn 34 years old in June, but he'll likely still have an abundance of teams interested in him on the open market.

Wagner finished with 183 tackles (96 solo), 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery across 17 games in the 2023 season.

EDGE Analysis

For the third time in his career, Wagner led the NFL in tackles, setting a career high in the category this season. Wagner will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and with no major signs of decline and a clear leadership role on this team, the Seahawks will likely try to bring him back for a 12th season with the team and his 13th in the league.

Wagner finished Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers with 14 tackles (four solo).

EDGE Analysis

Wagner reached double-digit tackles for the third straight game and has played every single defensive snap since Week 10. His 168 total tackles is second in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (170) and the former is two stops away from matching his career high set in 2021.

Wagner finished with 11 tackles (eight solo), including a sack and an additional tackle for a loss, in the Seahawks' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The nine-time All-Pro has recorded double-digit stops in nine different games this season. Wagner is third in the NFL in tackles with 154. The 12th-year pro also has three passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 2023.

Wagner registered 14 tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner led Seattle in stops in the defeat, posting his third double-digit tackle total over the past four weeks. The veteran linebacker has had some big tackle totals this season, finishing with 13 or more stops on four different occasions. Wagner is currently tied for the NFL lead with 127 tackles on the campaign.

Wagner totaled eight tackles (four solo) in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Though Wagner's tackle total was very respectable, he actually finished with his lowest number in that category since making just four stops Week 6 versus Cincinnati. That speaks to his elite level of production this season -- through 11 contests, he leads Seattle and ranks fifth in the NFL with 113 total stops. Wagner is on pace to reach 150 tackles for the fourth time in his career.

Wagner logged 10 tackles (six solo), 0.5 sacks and two pass deflections in the Seahawks Week 10 victory over the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first time Wagner made a mark in the sack department since Week 4, and he brought his season total up to 2.5 in the process. It was also the fifth time in 10 games this year in which the veteran linebacker reached double-digit tackles. He was on the field for all 61 defensive snaps plus five on special teams (14 percent). He has now pitched six complete defensive games this season. He will look to maintain his reliability in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Wagner registered nine tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner finished second on Seattle in stops in the defeat, trailing only Jordyn Brooks, who had 11. Wagner has at least nine tackles in each of his past three contests and is up to 85 on the season, fifth-most in the league. He's on pace to challenge the career-best mark of 170 tackles he established in 2021.

Wagner had 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner continues to be a tackling machine in his 12th season in the league and had 10 assisted tackles for the second time this season. He was dealing with an ankle injury that kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, but it didn't seem to hamper him Sunday as he played in 100 percent of the defensive snaps. He leads the team in tackles with 76 in seven contests and will look to pad that total in Week 9 against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
