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

[biggerdaddynj]

But did he ever play with Carolina?  

[UConn James]

245 pounds?

 

Much too big for LB in McD's scheme.

McD when he sees a LB that can actually play through contact when coming downhill

Give them  5th or 6th round pick. 

With Mike Brown as owner, you could probably get a deal with 6 cases of bratwurst, and a JUGGS machine.

He looks like he's still able to play, so our FO won't go near him.........

If the Colts have a LB need and cap room, Anarumo is their DC, Wilson was his captain in Cinci.

I think the Bills value quickness and coverage ability in their linebackers, which is why they gravitate toward guys that everybody else might regard as undersized.  Willson is bigger than the linebackers buffalo currently has, and is probably a poor fit for Milano's weak side role.  He might be a better fit for the Mike role.  Probably the biggest argument against making the trade is a greater need at other positions.

I like him as a player, but no way can we fit his contract & still add help at DB or WR. For that reason, it's an obvious pass.

I had Logan Wilson for two years in my keeper fantasy league as one of my top 3 LBs (we played with individual defensive players). I was always very happy with his tackle production. But that was fantasy, a couple of years ago, and I have no idea how he would fit in McD's system.

 

He's 29 years old, 6th year in the league (4-1/2 years as a starter). Third round pick in 2020 draft.

 

Bengals fans seem mixed about him. Some still think he is their best LB on a bad squad. Some think he hasn't been quite the same (lost a step) since returning from season-ending knee surgery in week 12 last year (maybe he didn't come back the same, maybe he's still working himself back---he's not quite a year out from the surgery still). Some think he was benched because of performance, some think he was benched because they just want to see what their rookie 2nd rounder can do. Either way, bad look for Cincy to bench a team captain and have him request a trade.

 

Up thread someone said he was a two-down run thumper. But I saw a number of places saying that he was good in coverage (at least before the injury). Yahoo sports said this, "Wilson is a three-down defender with the coverage instincts and range to impact the pass defense. He has 11 interceptions and 11 pass breakups over his career, plus he has averaged seven tackles per game during his five-plus seasons. Wilson would be an upgrade for multiple teams in the middle of the defense.”

 

He is still owed $3 million for this season and has two years remaining on a 4-year $36 million dollar contract.

I;m sold

Wait! You’re saying our LBs are virtually non existent on PURPOSE? Well that makes me feel a little better I guess.

WR, DT, CB are all bigger needs.  Shaq Thompson has been a huge help

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.

That's faster than coleman. Can he play WR?

He might do well to switch it up a bit.

No more appeasing Josh. That gave us Keon Krapman

Lol. You don’t remember Edmunds? People totally invented new roles and responsibilities as excuses for him. They invented an entire new scheme.

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

Holes by design. More airy than dairy

I figured he was just speed running the negotiation process coming off his rookie deal since we all know Mike Brown doesnt pay guaranteed money. But I looked it up and he's actually in year 2 of his 2nd contract!

 

So he just wants out of the building altogether 

[Goin Breakdown]

Beane would like that he's injury prone, small and cheap so.....pass
