And neither offseason addition, Jack Sanborn nor Kenneth Murray, has really impressed at the position \u2013 so little so that Sanborn lost his spot as a starter on ahead of week 8 to fifth round rookie, Shemar James.<\/p>\n<h2>The Dallas Cowboys Need Additional Help At Linebacker<\/h2>\n<p>So ESPN\u2019s Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler suggest that the team could be one of the most likely franchises to make a move for Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, Logan Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson signed a four year, $36 million extension with the Bengals back in the 2023 offseason, and has been a good to very good player for Cincinnati over his half-decade plus stint in Ohio. But after paying both top wideouts, Ja\u2019Marr Chase and Tee Higgins this past offseason, Wilson could be seen as potential move-off spot on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bengals are going younger at linebacker, relegating Wilson to a reserve role in favor of rookie\u00a0Barrett Carter despite Wilson\u2019s status as a team captain.\u201d Fowler wrote on Wednesday. \u201cTeams I\u2019ve talked to believe Cincinnati is open to dealing Wilson, whose base salary is $5.4 million this season. Next year, Wilson has a base of $6 million.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Logan Wilson Could Help Improve A Weak Point Of The Cowboys Defense<\/h2>\n<p>Despite getting demoted to the second string, Bowen still maintains that Wilson is a good, easily starter-worthy player in the middle of the defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWilson is a three-down defender with the coverage instincts and range to impact the pass defense.\u201d Bowen wrote. \u201cHe has 11 interceptions and 11 pass breakups over his career, plus he has averaged seven tackles per game during his five-plus seasons. Wilson would be an upgrade in the middle of the defense for multiple teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Overshown is likely the best option that the Cowboys have at the position at this point, it is unlikely that he will come into the team and immediately make a difference right of the bat.<\/p>\n<p>His very complicated knee injury suffered last season will have kept him out for around 11 months by the time he retakes the field over the next couple of weeks, and even after being cleared to play, he won\u2019t be able to hit top form perhaps until the end of the year \u2013 and perhaps longer.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the meantime, adding a player like Logan Wilson \u2013 who has very reasonable cap hits of $8.75, 9.5 and 8.2 million over the next three years \u2013 makes sense for a team that still needs help on the defensive side of the ball, which is currently not keeping pace with the high-powered offense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys have been listed as a potential trade destination for Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, Logan Wilson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
