Overview

  • The teams finalized the deadline-day trade Tuesday, with early reporting by Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport and Todd Archer confirming the move.
  • Wilson requested a move after his role was cut and he was benched, with Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. elevated in Cincinnati’s rotation.
  • Jerry Jones said Wilson can help right away at linebacker; with both teams on a Week 10 bye, he is expected to be integrated immediately afterward.
  • Financial reporting indicates Dallas assumes roughly $2.68 million remaining in Wilson’s 2025 pay (ESPN/Pro Football Rumors), while the Bengals carry about $5.9 million in 2025 and $4 million in 2026 dead-cap charges (Spotrac).
  • The price was minimal for Dallas and widely viewed as an incremental upgrade for a defense ranked near the bottom of the league, while the Bengals double down on a youth movement at linebacker.
