The Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly agreed to a trade.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals are trading linebacker Logan Wilson to the Cowboys. The compensation has not been revealed as of this writing, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Bengals were looking for a sixth-round pick.
“Trade: The Bengals are dealing standout LB Logan Wilson to the Cowboys, sources say, providing immediate defensive help,” Rapoport reported.
Wilson has been the subject of trade rumors recently after he asked the Bengals to move him. His request came following the team benching him in favor of rookie Barrett Carter.
“He’s handled it really well,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said of Wilson. “He’s done a great job with the young linebackers. He’s continued to be in a leadership role in our team. I know that this situation, it can be difficult and challenging.”
Prior to that happening, Wilson was a starter and key member of the Bengals defense since 2021. He has tallied over 100 tackles four times, including a career-high 135 in 2023.
Wilson now joins a linebackers room in Dallas that desperately needed more help after the Micah Parsons trade. The Cowboys will hope to pair Wilson with fellow linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is close to returning from injury.
