"The sixth-year player has started in all seven of his appearances this season. However, the team captain has seen his role reduced over the course of the season. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have received the bulk of the team's defensive snaps. Wilson, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a pivotal member of Cincinnati's defense in the turnaround."
"The Commanders' linebacking corps benefited greatly from Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner last season. Their influence has waned this time around, and Wilson would solve one glaring flaw at the defensive second level from the moment he got into the building. Wagner is looking his age, while Luvu is struggling to generate the same impactful plays amid more attention from opposing offenses."
Adam Peters has a history of aggressive, conviction-driven roster moves since joining the Washington Commanders. Logan Wilson requested a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals after seeing his role reduced amid the team's shift toward younger players and increased snaps for Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. Wilson has started every appearance this season, served as a team captain, and in six seasons has 75 starts, six forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 11 interceptions. The Commanders' linebacking corps has lost some effectiveness this year as Bobby Wagner shows age and Frankie Luvu struggles to produce impactful plays. Acquiring Wilson would immediately address the defensive second-level weakness and represents a plausible target before the 2025 trade deadline.
