"The Cincinnati defense has played better as a whole the last couple of months. The play of Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. has still been inconsistent, at best. However, it was clear Logan Wilson was not going to be part of the future here. Getting the young guys' snaps was important for a defense that is looking for pieces to build around going forward."
"At worst, they may have a better idea of what they need to do at the position moving forward. Wilson had already been benched and was clearly not willing to be a locker room leader like he initially said he would be. The Bengals were able to get a 7th-round draft pick in exchange for Wilson. They also cleared $2.684 million in cap space this season. They will also have an additional $2.55 million in cap space for next season."
The Cincinnati defense has improved overall in recent months, though Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have shown inconsistent play. Logan Wilson was not projected to be part of the team's future and had already been benched. Playing younger linebackers provided evaluation opportunities and clarity on long-term roster needs at the position. The Bengals traded Wilson for a seventh-round draft pick and freed $2.684 million in cap space for the current season. The team will also gain an additional $2.55 million in cap space next season. Wilson has not had the expected impact with his new team and did not play in the Cowboys' most recent game.
