Bengals LB Logan Wilson requests trade - Was at Wyoming with Josh

[psuscott16]

Got replaced by 2 rookies so not sure what he brings. Connection to Josh at Wyoming if that matters.

Based on the last 4 years of Cincinnati’s defence….might not be an upgrade.

Its a warm body.

He was thought highly of enough to get an extension, then an ill fit this year with the changes in D? I don't know a lot about him. 

[boyst]

I heard him on Siryi after he signed his extension. I really liked his attitude

[BVBILLS]

At least he wouldn't be injured every week

[wppete]

Give them  5th or 6th round pick.

Wilson has had a very good NFL career, getting 121, 130 and 97 tackles in 22’- 24’. Played 11 games last year owing to injury. Wilson signed a $36M deal in 2023 that averages $9M per year. The Bills would need to shed salary to get him. He would deliver what Milano used to deliver.

Ok we're all set then.  Olave, Jeffery Simmons, Woolen, Budda Baker and Wilson. All done with various picks from the 1st to the 5th rd. next year.

[BuffaloRebound]

maybe if they cut him and he comes here for the vet minimum.  He’s better than buffalo joe and specter, but that’s a bad contract.

+ Ertz

He’s not worth the money and a pick imo.  Rather spend the assets at WR.  If they decide that they want to trade for defense, I’d want a corner and/or safety. If we ***** more in a LB, I’d want him to be difference maker.  
 

i haven’t watched much of him the last 2 years, but he was pretty good in 21 and 22.  If he was minimal salary and a day 3 pick, I would be very happy to add him.

He's a two down thumper. Better at run support than coverage. Good size at 245lbs. Ran a 4.63 40 out of college. He's described as an emotional leader. He's 29. 

 

Not sure If spend picks on him, but if he's cut I'd kick the tires.

anybody will be an upgrade over  Injured Bernard and Dorian Williams.  The Bills currently have only one healthy LB and that is Thompson

more importantly - how much does he count against the Salary Cap

[Sierra Foothills]

I've heard of him!!!

"Twelve men on the field on the defense... that's a 5 yard penalty and repeat 1st down..."

He's not quite the heat-seeking missile Milano was in his prime but he's not a huge liability in coverage, though a bit more of a thumper.

 

Also I don't know if or how much he's slowed down from his prime in 2021-22.

 

In his prime he was a 3-down linebacker.

In a NY minute go get em.

In a NY minute go get him.

Get Josh a real WR, enough dicking around with this defense that is swiss cheese no matter who we plug in. 

[Brand J]

He was a good player in Anarumo’s system. We used to complain about how Mahomes toyed with Edmunds but when Pattie went against the Bengals, Wilson wasn’t as easily fooled. His steps and awareness in coverage were mostly correct. I have no idea who he is now as a player, only what he was then.
