Ravens All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey left little doubt about his feelings toward missing out on a defensive player of Wagner's caliber. He's even holding out hope for the 31-year-old to change his decision ahead of April Fools' Day on Friday.

Wagner's former Seattle teammate and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman tweeted Wednesday that big news was inbound regarding his former teammate's free agency decision. 

After the news broke, he gave some more details stating that the Ravens made a strong case for Wagner with the Rams ultimately winning out. 

The rich get richer! Lose future HOF @VonMiller and gain future HOF @Bwagz. The @Ravens made a last min push but the Reigning champs @RamsNFL were too good to pass up.
