"It gets lost in the shuffle of everything, but the Dallas Cowboys traded for someone other than Quinnen Williams at this year's deadline. Linebacker Logan Wilson was actually acquired before Williams and was someone who people were excited about in the hours that separated those deals. Part of the reason was that the Cowboys have had such poor linebacker play for some time now, and the thought was that Wilson could seriously help in that regard."
"Wilson was curiously absent from the team's Christmas Day win at Washington and Jerry Jones took to the radio airwaves of 105.3 The Fan on Friday morning to express his displeasure with that. Jerry speaks a lot on the radio, everybody knows that, but he is rarely so pointed about a subject like this. You can almost sense that Jerry is directly calling out the coaching staff for not playing Wilson more."
"Your takeaway can be that the coaching staff is playing who they believe is best and that ultimately this is how an NFL team should operate. That is objectively fair. Another takeaway can be that the Cowboys have arguably the worst linebacker play in the NFL and so trotting out the players they are (no one is trying to explicitly point fingers here, but Kenneth Murray has been a target of many) feels questionable at best."
Logan Wilson was acquired by Dallas before Quinnen Williams and was expected to improve longstanding weak linebacker play. Wilson has seen limited action and missed the Christmas Day win at Washington. Owner Jerry Jones publicly expressed displeasure over Wilson's absence and appeared to criticize coaching decisions for not playing him more. Some argue coaching is choosing the players they believe are best, while others point to persistently poor linebacker performance with Kenneth Murray frequently scrutinized. Wilson could earn greater trust in the offseason and into 2026 if retained. His 2026 cap hit is $6.5 million and he can be cut with no dead cap.
