"The Cowboys have traded with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. Jones also said yesterday that the player the team was trading for would get on the field immediately. Considering how bad the defense has been, help can't get out there soon enough. Yet, what should the Cowboys expect from Logan Wilson after the midseason trade? Here's what you should know about Dallas' new linebacker"
"Wilson is a former third-round pick of the Bengals in 2020. When he was drafted, Wilson was viewed as a prospect; his timed speed (4.63 forty-yard dash) wasn't indicative of his actual athleticism. Dating back to his time as a high school player, Wilson always showed terrific athleticism for his size. In high school, he was named All-State as a receiver, defensive back, as well as punter, and placekicker."
"It took Wilson some time to earn a regular role with the Bengals, but in his second season, Wilson was named a starter on the team's defense under coordinator Lou Anarumo. Since becoming a starter, Wilson was highly productive for the Bengals, totaling 100 tackles or more in four consecutive seasons, and intercepting nine passes in that span. Wilson is a player who diagnoses the run well and is able to take on blocks before shedding offensive linemen to make the tackle."
The Dallas Cowboys traded with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. Jones said the player will play immediately to address a defense allowing almost 31 points per game. Wilson was a third-round pick in 2020 whose timed 4.63 forty-yard dash understated his athleticism. He showed multi-position All-State athleticism in high school. Wilson became a Bengals starter in his second season and produced 100+ tackles in four consecutive seasons with nine interceptions. Wilson diagnoses the run well, takes on blocks, sheds linemen, and finishes tackles.
