Two days after officially returning to the Pacific Northwest, All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner couldn't be happier to be back with the Seattle Seahawks. What are realistic expectations for him in his second act with the franchise?

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang examine Wagner's fit in his homecoming and how Seattle can maximize his current strengths entering his 12th NFL season, including breaking down scheme-related changes that should help get the most out of the playmaking veteran defender.

Smith and Rang also share their remaining free agency to-do lists, including a potential extension for Uchenna Nwosu and the return of a veteran defensive lineman, and critique several fan submissions for "Mock Draft Monday" featuring three first round picks for the Seahawks in a jam-packed episode.
