The Cowboys sent a 2026 seventh-round pick back to the Bengals, Rapoport added.<\/p>\n<p>Cincinnati later announced the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson, a six-year pro, <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46701489\/source-bengals-lb-logan-wilson-requests-trade-amid-reduced-role\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">requested a trade<\/a> out of Cincinnati after his snaps were slashed earlier this season. Now he lands in Dallas to help an equally struggling defense turn things around.<\/p>\n<p>A third-round pick in 2020 out of Wyoming, Wilson grew into a sturdy starter in the middle of Lou Anarumo&#8217;s defense. A reliable tackler who was stellar in coverage, the linebacker generated 11 interceptions, six forced fumbles, 25 passes defensed, 5.5 sacks and 541 tackles in five-plus seasons in Cincy. Since taking over as a full-time starter in 2021, Wilson has generated four consecutive 100-tackle seasons, including 104 in just 11 games last season.<\/p>\n<p>However, with defensive coordinator Al Golden taking over, and the Bengals opting to go with younger players, Wilson&#8217;s playing time was curtailed. He played just 58 snaps from Weeks 6-8. He did not play in Week 9 due to a calf injury. Presumably, the injury won&#8217;t hinder his transition to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>With fourth-round rookie <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/barrett-carter\/\" title=\"Barrett Carter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Barrett Carter<\/a> taking more snaps, Wilson requested a trade. The Bengals finally made the move ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I appreciate everything Logan has done as a player and as a person during his time in Cincinnati,&#8221; Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a statement. &#8220;He has been a central part of our defense over the past six years, and he will be remembered as a leader in our locker room. I wish him the best moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So Jerry Jones did make a trade after all.
