The Dallas Cowboys officially announced on Friday that they have waived linebacker Logan Wilson<\/strong>, ending a brief but eventful stint with the team. The move frees up $6.5 million in salary cap space, giving the Cowboys more flexibility as they approach the offseason and consider roster adjustments at multiple positions.<\/p>\n Wilson <\/strong>joined the Cowboys in a midseason trade from the Cincinnati Bengals at the 2025 trade deadline.<\/p>\n Dallas gave up a seventh-round draft pick to acquire the veteran linebacker, hoping that his experience and consistency could provide depth to the team’s defensive unit. Wilson<\/strong>‘s time with the Cowboys, however, was short-lived.<\/p>\n He appeared in seven games, including one start, logging 224 defensive snaps. Across those contests, he tallied 24 tackles, forced one fumble, and recorded a pass defensed.<\/p>\n He was inactive for the Week 16 game against the Washington Commanders, a decision that limited his overall impact on the field.<\/p>\n Before being traded, Wilson<\/strong>‘s tenure in Cincinnati had become increasingly complicated. The Bengals benched him in favor of rookie Barrett Carrett,<\/strong> a move that prompted Wilson to request a trade. In eight games this season with the Bengals, Wilson <\/strong>registered 46 tackles and four pass breakups.<\/p>\n The benching was a notable development, given that Wilson <\/strong>had been a reliable fixture in Cincinnati’s linebacker rotation for several years.<\/p>\n Selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Bengals, Wilson <\/strong>quickly established himself as a dependable defensive presence. Over six seasons in Cincinnati, he started 65 of the 76 games he played, demonstrating consistency in coverage and run support.<\/p>\n He became known for his ability to read opposing offenses and make tackles in key situations. While he was never considered a superstar, Wilson<\/strong>‘s steady play and veteran leadership made him a valued member of the Bengals’ linebacker corps.<\/p>\n The trade to Dallas was seen as an opportunity for Wilson <\/strong>to bring that experience to a new team and contribute immediately. The Cowboys, in turn, were looking to bolster their linebacker depth with a player who had a track record of starting and producing in a competitive NFL defense.<\/p>\n Despite the promise of the move, Wilson<\/strong>‘s time in Dallas did not reach its full potential. He struggled to carve out a consistent role, and the decision to waive him now suggests that the Cowboys are prioritizing younger players or alternative options at the position heading into 2026.<\/p>\n Whether he finds a new home in the NFL this offseason or chooses to reassess his options, Wilson<\/strong>‘s track record as a starter and contributor gives him opportunities to continue his career in the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Dallas Cowboys officially announced on Friday that they have waived linebacker Logan Wilson, ending a brief but eventful stint with the team.
