Bobby Wagner is back with the Seattle Seahawks after spending last season with the Los Angeles Rams.

Wagner said he's treating the reunion as though he's joining a new team and isn't holding any grudges from his brief departure from the franchise.

"It's been great just being back in the building," the linebacker said. "Things didn't end that great, and I don't live that far from the building, so I would drive by and not have too many nice things to say about the building until this happened. So it's good to be back in this place."

Wagner's first stint with the Seahawks came to an unceremonious end last March, when he caught wind of the team's plan to move on before he heard it directly from the team.

Wagner vented both publicly and privately, prompting mea culpas from Pete Carroll and John Schneider.

"I never felt any type of way towards Pete or John or anybody," Wagner said on Seattle Sports 710 AM. "I just think the biggest thing was I just felt like we could have handled it differently, handled the business side personally. But I think I'm mature enough to know that business is business and sometimes things don't get handled the same way, and so I don't really hold grudges like that.

"It's hard to just throw away like 10 years of a relationship or a friendship over something that we potentially won't even remember -- well, I'll remember it. But depending on how the story ends, you won't remember. And it's not like I ended up at a terrible place or a place that was far, far away from home. I ended up down the street from where I grew up."
