Ahead of the 2025 NFL trade deadline, the Dallas Cowboys have made a strategic move to bolster their defense. The team has acquired Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson in a trade, aiming to address the issues exposed in their recent 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football.
The Cowboys, reeling from the humiliating defeat at home, recognized the need to strengthen their defensive unit. The trade for Wilson, who has a $36 million contract, is expected to provide a significant boost. The Cowboys parted with only a 7th-round pick in 2026 to secure the services of the talented linebacker.
Wilson is known for his remarkable playmaking abilities, making numerous tackles and providing solid coverage. His addition is anticipated to help the Cowboys fix the defensive vulnerabilities that were on full display in the loss to the Cardinals, where missed tackles and coverage lapses were glaring issues.
