I think his Run D is still excellent. He's got elite instincts and fits runs early and he is an amazing tackler. My complaint is more that, because he can't cover anyone any more, we'll have to run light boxes or give up easy completions to underneath options. It's a tough choice to have to make.Darrell Green Fan wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 7:25 amI'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way about Bobby Wagner. I loved the signing, wanted him years ago. And I understand he graded out well. But sorry I just didn't see the impact his numbers would suggest. He sure made a ton of tackles 6 yards downfield. I know others are to blame but it's hard for me to see a defense that was gutted up the middle from Game 1 on and feel that Bobby Wagner was a force on defense.GoingCommando wrote: Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:54 amWe need to move on from Wagner even at half that number. His intangibles are strong, but he can't cover anyone any more and it is killer. His run D is so good that you hate to lose that. But even still, we have to play with light boxes, in large part, because he can't cover anyone so that it comes out as a wash for our run D in the end. Also he's not running down the Saquon Barkleys or Bijan Robinsons or James Cooks of the NFL any more.mhd24 wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:29 am
Yeah, loved his leadership, but was SLOW on the field by the end of the year. He was a liability to be frank.
We need better coverage in our back seven and a big part of that is getting a MIKE who can single cover slot weapons, tight Ys, and backs.
His leadership will be missed but there are plenty of others to fill that role, if they really want to improve their defense they need to upgrade this position with more speed and playmaking ability IMO.
We need to improve our coverage first and foremost, then the rest of the defense will improve. We've got a chance to get way better in the secondary because I think Lattimore could bounce back big time and Sainristil is rapidly improving. I think one more big time DB and getting a LBer that can cover could put this group over the top. Then we'll start flying around in the run game.

On Garrett, the Browns have remained consistent since his trade request went public six days before the Super Bowl: They are not listening to offers. If the Browns change their minds, I expect movement to happen as the draft nears and Cleveland GM Andrew Berry has to make tough roster decisions.
I’m told the Philadelphia Eagles’ interest in Garrett is real. As fearsome as Philly’s defense was in the Super Bowl, imagine adding the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year?
“Garrett could be this year’s version of Saquon Barkley for Howie [Roseman],” one NFL GM said. “He’s an impact add and isn’t a free-agent overpay. Howie’s not afraid to try stuff, and it fits where they are as a team.”
How would the Eagles come up with room to fit Garrett? By letting some key members of their Super Bowl-winning group walk. Linebacker Zack Baun was a free-agent gem Roseman found last offseason, but he is now poised to cash in. Baun, edge rusher Josh Sweat, DT Milton Williams and guard Mekhi Becton headline Philly’s free agent class, and bringing all or even some of them back could prove challenging, especially if Garrett enters the picture — and you can be certain Roseman will have Philly in the conversation for Garrett.

I figure Wagner goes to the Raiders. Reunited with Pete and gets to live close to the West coast where's he based out of. Its a win win for him.
