TRADED Schefter: Cowboys trade for Logan Wilson (7th round pick)

[8FOR!3]

So Jerry trades for a MLB who can’t even start for the Bengals defense??? Brilliant.

Sounds like Bengals fans think he’s better than the rookie they started over him tbh

Much appreciated…I knew the answer but was sure the person who keeps harping on his benching didn’t.

Basically what you said…they drafted 2 LB’s in this past draft. Once the season got out of hand, they decided to give the rookies a shot to see what they have. He wasn’t benched because he was beaten out. He was benched because of a youth movement.

If you believe their boards, after his demotion, he asked what he needs to do moving forward and got no real response. Supposedly that led to his trade request.

I admittedly don’t know a ton about him. Maybe he works out…maybe not. But their fan boards say he is their best LB and they feel the team did him wrong.

He was also voted as as a team captain this year.

Sounds like a good value trade in a position of desperation.

For poor play. I said it before. He was getting outplayed by rookies on the worst defense in the league. Its why they gave him away for effectively nothing

None of what you said is true according to their fans.

Their fans say the rookies are hot garbage and Wilson was their best LB.

This was a youth movement and a salary saving move…nothing more.

I think they clearly see something in their rookie, and this season is lost, so I believe they wanted to play the rookie and move Wilson’s salary. He has been very good or they wouldn’t have resigned him to that contract.

The rumor I heard is that the DC was directed to start playing young guys after Burrow went down, to see what the team had in them, and the vets were pissed about it.

is wilson signed for next year or is he just a seven game rental.

Jerrah loves himself some consistency. 3 decades of mediocrity is impressive.

Traded for a backup. lol

The Bengals have dumber defensive coaches than we do. Wilson was their best linebacker and they benched him for rookies that have performed worse. Cincy fans complained about this and a lot of them are not happy with the trade from what I have seen on social media.

He has already lasted beyond the NFL linebacker average.

It keeps the conversation going apparently.

Jerry has figured out it is the perfect sweet spot.

If the Cowboys are horrendous, no one hates us any more. If we are extremely good, no one can complain anymore. Being in mediocrity is where Jeruh wants to live.

Good trade for a 7, he is an immediate upgrade over that scrub Murray.
