The Cowboys waived linebacker Logan Wilson on Friday, the team announced.<\/p>\n
The move will save the team $6.5 million against the salary cap.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys traded with the Bengals for Wilson at the trade deadline, giving up a seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n
Wilson played 224 snaps in seven games, one of those a start, and totaled 24 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass defensed. He had no snaps in the Week 16 game against the Commanders.<\/p>\n
The Bengals benched Wilson for rookie Barrett Carrett, prompting the veteran to ask for a trade. In eight games with Cincinnati, Wilson had 46 tackles and four pass breakups.<\/p>\n
The Bengals made Wilson a third-round pick in 2020, and he started 65 of 76 games he played for the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cowboys waived linebacker Logan Wilson on Friday, the team announced.
