(AP Photo\/Carolyn Kaster)<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a deal to bolster the NFL\u2019s second-worst defense. The Jacksonville Jaguars got a playmaker.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys acquired linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals for a seventh-round pick on Tuesday. Hours before the Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night to fall to 3-5-1, Jones said the team had a deal in place to add a player who could improve the defense.<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers goes to Jacksonville from Las Vegas for draft picks in the fourth and sixth rounds, according to a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade hasn\u2019t been announced.<\/p>\n<p>Meyers, who requested a trade, gives the Jaguars (5-3) depth. Travis Hunter will miss at least three more games and Brian Thomas Jr,. Dyami Brown and Tim Patrick are dealing with injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson had requested a trade after his playing time decreased for the Bengals, who have the league\u2019s worst defense. The Cowboys traded two-time All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay before the season, leaving a huge void that Wilson doesn\u2019t fill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome guys have the ability to see a certain key and, at the same time, take a step up in the hole,\u201d Jones said on his radio show on 105.3 The Fan. \u201cHe knows how to get in the gaps right now. \u2026 For what we need right now, he can come in immediately and help us at linebacker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who led the Cowboys to three Super Bowls in the 1990s, mocked the deal during the ESPN broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe may want to cancel that trade,\u201d Aikman said. \u201cI don\u2019t think one player from what I\u2019ve seen tonight is going to make a difference for this group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NFL teams have until 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday to make a trade.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles have been aggressive. General manager Howie Roseman continues adding players to a talented roster to improve the team\u2019s chances for a repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Eagles (6-2) last played a game, they\u2019ve acquired edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and cornerbacks Michael Carter II and Jaire Alexander.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips, who came from Miami on Monday for a third-round pick, immediately bolsters the pass rush. The 2021 first-round pick had three sacks in his last five games for the Dolphins. All of Philadelphia\u2019s edge rushers combined have three sacks this season.<\/p>\n<p>Carter gives the defense a veteran slot cornerback to allow defensive coordinator Vic Fangio more flexibility to use Cooper DeJean outside. Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, is a low-risk, high-reward acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>The Baltimore Ravens also added an edge rusher, getting Dre\u2019Mont Jones from Tennessee for a conditional fifth-round pick. Jones has 4 1\/2 sacks this season so he\u2019s an upgrade for the Ravens (3-5) at a position of need.<\/p>\n<p>Several trades already went down last month. The Bengals acquired Joe Flacco. The Rams got cornerback Roger McCreary. Defensive end Keion White went to the 49ers. Safety Kyle Dugger was traded to the Steelers. The Jaguars and Browns swapped cornerbacks Greg Newsome II and Tyson Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>The Chargers added edge Odafe Oweh in a deal that sent safety Alohi Gilman to the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>There are some high-profile players who could be on the move. Bengals All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and Jets running back Breece Hall are among the biggest names being mentioned in trade speculation.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/national-sports-apwire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">    <\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/braves-anthopoulos-says-club-ran-extensive-external-search-before-promoting-weiss-as-manager\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA \u2014 There were times during the Atlanta Braves&#8217; 33-day search for a new manager that Walt Weiss thought &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/johnny-keefer-making-steady-gains-up-the-ladder-and-now-starts-his-biggest-test-on-pga-tour\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/dallas-cowboys-acquire-linebacker-logan-wilson-jacksonville-jaguars-get-wide-receiver-jakobi-meyers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/alex-bregman-lucas-giolito-pete-alonso-edwin-diaz-and-cody-bellinger-become-free-agents\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/a-late-caution-robs-hamlin-of-nascar-title-in-probable-final-year-of-championship-format\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>AVONDALE, Ariz. \u2014 Denny Hamlin was shell-shocked, a vacant look in his eyes, as he tried to explain how he yet &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mininggazette.com\/sports\/2025\/11\/rico-dowdles-big-day-and-ryan-fitzgeralds-big-kick-give-panthers-16-13-win-over-packers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (0) runs through Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson (55) for a 20-yard&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34051,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[23794,116,118,23796,23795,117,23793],"class_list":["post-34050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-dallas-cowboys-acquire-linebacker-logan-wilson","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-jaguars-get-wide-receiver-jakobi-meyers","tag-jacksonville-jaguars-get-wide-receiver-jakobi-meyerssports","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-national-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34050\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
