"The Dallas Cowboys are set to strengthen their struggling defense with the addition of experienced linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals. As part of the agreement, Cincinnati will receive a seventh-round selection in the NFL draft. The transaction is being completed less than 24 hours after Dallas fell 27-17 to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. Prior to Monday's matchup, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged that the front office was nearing a trade ahead of the league's deadline."
"That move now appears to be Wilson's arrival, following the 29-year-old's request to leave Cincinnati earlier this season. Wilson signed a four-year, $36 million extension in 2023 and has delivered at least 100 tackles in four straight seasons. However, his role had been reduced this year as the Bengals shifted toward a younger defensive core. Dallas enters the week ranking 31st in both total defense (397.4 yards allowed per game) and points conceded (30.8 per game),"
"Opponents have rushed for more than 136 yards in five consecutive games, and five teams have posted their season-high scoring totals against the Cowboys. Playoff picture still uphill The Cowboys sit second in the NFC East, trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by three-and-a-half games. They are currently 11th in the NFC standings and behind both the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers, teams they have already lost to this season. Dallas only holds a slight tiebreaker over Arizona due to its Week 4 draw with Green Bay."

Dallas sits second in the NFC East and 11th in the conference while facing a difficult remaining schedule against multiple playoff-caliber teams.
