Bobby Wagner signs four-year extension with Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have confirmed that linebacker Bobby Wagner has signed a four-year contract extension with the club.

The 25-year-old's current deal with the NFC West side was due to expire at the end of the season, and Wagner had watched teammates Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Russell Wilson all receive lucrative contracts from the club.

Pete Carroll's men have secured the future of the linebacker by signing him to deal until the end of the 2019 season worth $43m (£27.2m), with $22m (£14.1m) guaranteed.

Extremely blessed to be able to sign a 4yr extension with the best team in sports @Seahawks! Thanks for believing in me!
