Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson announced his retirement March 18 via Instagram post.
“And to Cincinnati,” Wilson posted. “I’ll always appreciate the way you embraced me. … Who Dey forever.”
Wilson, a third-round pick of the Bengals in the 2020 NFL draft, played his first five-and-a-half seasons for Cincinnati.
The Bengals traded Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys in Nov. 2025.
The Cowboys released Wilson Feb. 20, the team announced.
CBS’ Jim Nantz and Tony Romo shared praise of Wilson during the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game against the Kansas City Chiefs, as Wilson was playing in his third game for Dallas after the Bengals traded him there.
“That was kind of a quiet trade a couple weeks ago getting him from Cincinnati,” Nantz said during the broadcast. “As (Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt) Eberflus told us, ‘He is the hammer.’ … He’s gonna be a big part of this Cowboy defense for a while.”
Wilson asked the Bengals for a trade last October. He was benched before the Bengals’ Week 6 game against Green Bay.
