"The Commanders needed to get younger and faster this offseason, especially on defense. Ohio State product Sonny Styles is both, but stealing him at No. 7 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft closes the door on one era for good."
"Wagner was a marquee addition to the Commanders in 2024 free agency. It represented a strong statement of intent, and he played a significant role in shifting the culture overnight."
"Despite his advancing years, Wagner also remained strong as a blitzer. But in isolation, he became a growing liability. This was especially evident in coverage, something opposing teams targeted with great success."
"What the future holds for Wagner is unclear. The Walter Payton Man of the Year wants to keep playing. He believes there is one more good year left before riding off into the sunset."
The Washington Commanders prioritized youth and speed on defense, drafting Sonny Styles at No. 7 in the 2026 NFL Draft. This decision effectively ends Bobby Wagner's time with the team, as he was a significant addition in 2024 but became a liability in coverage. Wagner remains a strong player but is out of contract with no offer from the Commanders. His future is uncertain, though he hopes to continue playing, potentially with another team that can utilize his strengths.
