In a surprising turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly set to release linebacker Logan Wilson. This move comes as a shock to many, especially considering Wilson's recent arrival from the Cincinnati Bengals.
Wilson, who joined the Cowboys in a trade on November 4th, quickly made an impression. During the Cowboys' Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, CBS commentators Jim Nantz and Tony Romo highlighted his impact.
Nantz noted, "That was kind of a quiet trade a couple weeks ago getting him from Cincinnati." He added that Dallas' defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, described Wilson as "the hammer," emphasizing his anticipated role in strengthening the Cowboys' defense.
Wilson's journey to Dallas began when he requested a trade from the Bengals last October. Prior to his departure, he faced challenges in Cincinnati, including being benched before their Week 6 game against Green Bay.
As the Cowboys move forward, the decision to release Wilson raises questions about their defensive strategy and what this means for Wilson's future in the league. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see where Wilson lands next and how Dallas plans to adjust their defensive lineup.
