Wagner departed the Seahawks for the Los Angeles Rams during the 2022 NFL offseason, creating a void at the position for the first time in a decade. The Seahawks could continue to have an elite inside linebacker as they move into a new era by acquiring Roquan Smith to take over the role.

#4 - Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are yet to make a major impact addition to their roster during the 2022 NFL offseason. They've added solid pieces to improve the overall depth of their roster as they look to return to the playoffs and advance further this time around. However, they haven't made the splash move that Jerry Jones often looks to make.

While that hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean a big move isn't coming before the start of the regular season. The Cowboys are currently projected to have around $20 million in available cap space, so they have the flexibility to acquire Roquan Smith if they choose to do so.

#5 - Las Vegas Raiders

After making it to the playoffs last year, the Las Vegas Raiders are looking to return again for the 2022-23 NFL season and hopefully advance further this time. They've been aggressive during the 2022 NFL offseason in improving their roster. They made significant upgrades on offense and defense, including adding Davante Adams and Chandler Jones.

Despite an active offseason of bringing in new talent, the Raiders are still projected to have around $20 million in available cap space for the 2022 season. They could potentially spend that money on Roquan Smith. The defender would be an ideal fit for the Raiders as the inside linebacker position is currently one of their weakest position groups.
