The Buffalo Bills are eyeing an opportunity to bolster their linebacker corps, and they might just find the perfect fit in a familiar face from Josh Allen's college days. Enter Logan Wilson, a linebacker who, despite a recent dip in momentum, brings a solid NFL resume to the table.
Wilson's journey took an unexpected turn when he was traded from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Dallas Cowboys before the trade deadline. Unfortunately, his stint in Dallas wasn't the highlight reel he hoped for, as he found himself benched after just a couple of months. However, his past performances speak volumes about his capabilities.
Originally drafted in the third round by the Bengals in 2020, Wilson made his mark with 541 tackles over 76 games. Although his time with the Cowboys resulted in a modest seven games with 24 tackles and a forced fumble, his potential remains undeniable.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently hinted on social media that the Bills, along with the Colts, are prime contenders for Wilson's talents. Given the current landscape, Buffalo might not face fierce competition for his signature, which could keep the financial commitment manageable.
Wilson, at 29, might be looking at a prove-it deal-a chance to showcase his skills and secure a more lucrative contract down the line. The Bills, offering both opportunity and a connection to Allen, could provide the ideal environment for Wilson to reignite his career. This potential reunion could be a win-win for both Wilson and Buffalo, addressing a key need while rekindling a college camaraderie.
