ESPN reported it's a $50 million deal worth up to $65 million.

Wagner joins the Rams after spending his first 10 NFL seasons with the Seahawks. During that decade, he registered 1,383 total tackles, 11 interceptions, 60 pass breakups and 78 QB hits. 

He was named to the Pro Bowl eight times, was a First-Team All-Pro six times, and won the 2014 Super Bowl as Seattle's defense limited the offense of Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos to just eight points.

Wagner was named to the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team along with defensive tackle Aaron Donald, his new teammate in LA.

Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey suggested the new-look defense won't have many weaknesses.

"Inspiration & motivation," Ramsey wrote on Twitter. "This defense will be elite at all 3 levels, I’m claiming it."

"Let's go!! Don't have to play against @Bwagz anymore!!!!" added Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
