The Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals, per multiple reports. Wilson, a 29-year-old linebacker who stands 6-2 and weighs 245 lbs, was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 76 career games and has accumulated 114 interception return yards. Wilson sat out last Sunday’s game due to a calf injury and, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, requested a trade after being moved from the starting lineup to special teams. Despite his struggles this season, Wilson is under contract through 2026 on a four-year, $36 million deal, an amount typically reserved for starters. The Cowboys are on their bye week, giving Wilson extra time to recover and integrate into the defense. This move comes as Dallas looks to bolster their linebacking corps in pursuit of a playoff run, while Cincinnati continues to adjust its roster after defensive struggles. Wilson’s future performance with the Cowboys will be closely watched, given both his contract and the team’s high expectations for defensive improvement.
