The Dallas Cowboys , Buffalo Bills , and Denver Broncos have been connected to a multiple-time All-Pro linebacker who is still on the free agency market.
Bobby Wagner has yet to find a new home after spending the last two seasons with the Washington Commanders , but CBS Sports' Carter Bahns believes Dallas, Buffalo, and Denver should look into signing the future Hall of Famer. "A handful of teams could use that reliable run-stopping ability, and the intangibles Wagner also brings to the table as one of the NFL's most heralded leaders are a nice bonus," Bahns said. Wagner has started all 17 games the past two years and is still a quality linebacker who earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2024.
The veteran also tallied 162 tackles, two interceptions, and eight tackles for loss in 2025. Dallas and Buffalo make the most sense as possible landing spots for Wagner. The Cowboys have a major hole to fill at linebacker next to DeMarvion Overshown, and Wagner would be a perfect fit.
The 35-year-old would be a fantastic mentor for Overshown, and his savvy playstyle would complement the young defender's high energy and physicality very well. As for the Bills, the franchise needs to find a replacement for Matt Milano, and Wager could be a potential target. The 10-time Pro Bowler is a veteran leader that the Bills desperately need on defense.
