Bobby Wagner is one of three NFL Linebackers to ever record 2,000 tackles. But his biggest goal is ownership, whether that’s of a team or his own contract negotiations. Following the lead of his mentors Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, Wagner has spent the last decade diversifying his business interests, including investments in tech start-ups and taking a minority stake in the WNBA’s Seattle Storm. In this episode of The Deal, Alex and Jason talk to Wagner about what he saw as an NFL rookie that motivated him to be his own agent and explains the ins and outs of how an NFL contract comes to be. Wagner also shares how Larry Johnson and a cartoon based on Magic shaped his views on athletes and ownership. He also explains why writing a check to the Seattle Storm was his easiest investment decision. (Source: Bloomberg)
