KJ Wright posts farewell to Seahawks and 12s on Instagram

After months of speculation, linebacker KJ Wright signed a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, ending his decade-long tenure in Seattle.

Wright posted a farewell to Seahawks fans on Instagram, expressing his gratitude for his time and memories in the blue and green.

 

Although Bobby Wagner was the more visible linebacker over the past eight years, Wright made significant contributions during his time with the Seahawks and assisted the team in achieving their first championship in Super Bowl XLVIII. With Wright’s departure, Wagner and Russell Wilson are now the only remaining members of the original Legion of Boom (2012-2014) era.

Wright ends his Seahawks career with 941 combined tackles (593 solo), 54 pass deflections, 13.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, and six interceptions, as well as a reputation as a beloved member of the organization among the 12s.
