The Cincinnati Bengals traded away linebacker Logan Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Wilson requested a trade from Cincinnati not too long ago.

The Bengals have a 3-6 record this season and he may not be the only player that they trade before the NFL trade deadline. Despite the Cowboys having a 3-5-1 record, they needed help on defense and trading for Wilson was a good move for them. He is not a rental, and he will have a couple of years remaining on his contract. It was a surprise that Cincinnati did not get more back in return from Dallas for him. A lot of Bengals fans are upset with the return they got for Wilson.
Cincinnati Bengals Fans Livid With the Front Office After the Logan Wilson Trade

Many fans are not happy with the Wilson trade. They are upset with the front office because they did not get enough in return for him. It would be one thing if this was a rental. This is not a rental, and they could have done much better than they did. This is what some Bengals fans had to say on Twitter about the trade:
This is easily the worst front office in the league right now. 7th round pick for your captain.

A 7th Round Pick for Logan! 😂 Hell you don’t have the Coaches to coach the Draft Picks we have now, and you want more! Like Burrow said, “You don’t want to make a habit of letting Great Players just walk out of the building” You just let one of Great ones walk out in my opinion

At least he doesn’t need to suffer with this ownership anymore, unlike all of us that are stuck for life… You know things are bad when old Jerry seems like the better option…

Oh boy. Another draft pick to watch the Brown family make a hilarious pick with. True incompetence bred throughout that family.

In eight games with the Bengals this season, he has recorded 46 tackles, one fumble recovery, and four pass deflections. It was certainly a choice for this front office to trade one of its better defensive players on this roster. Cincinnati fans are afraid that Trey Hendrickson may get traded for nothing as well. Losing Wilson will hurt the Bengals big time and it is a huge gain for the Cowboys.
