Rams releasing LB Bobby Wagner after one season

One year ago, Bobby Wagner hit free agency for the first time in his decade-long NFL career. He's now set to be a free agent for the second time in as many offseasons.

The Rams are releasing Wagner after one season in Los Angeles, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, per a source.

Wagner's official release will not occur until the start of the new league year on March 15, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo notes. The 32-year-old gets an early look at the free-agent market and will be able to shop himself at the beginning of free agency.

This appears to be a salary-cutting move by the Rams, who are currently more than $14 million above the salary cap, according to Over The Cap.

Might be an option for the Bears.
After they traded Quinn & Smith, Jack Sanborn was their best defensive player. By a lot.
And he was an undrafted free agent. Wagner could be a great mentor for a kid who barely expected to be in the NFL.
Even at 32, he'd be an upgrade at LB around here. And, the Bears have huge cap space.
