Overview
- The Bengals sent Wilson to Dallas for a 2026 seventh-round pick, a deal Jerry Jones said was arranged before the loss to Arizona and intended for immediate help at linebacker.
- Wilson, a 2020 third-round pick, has 76 games, 65 starts, 541 combined tackles and 11 interceptions in his NFL career.
- Troy Aikman questioned the move on the ESPN broadcast, saying one player is unlikely to change the defense’s outlook.
- Dallas has allowed 2,446 yards through nine games and ranks near the bottom in points allowed, underscoring the urgency behind the addition.
- RÉCORD reported a separate Cowboys trade for Jets lineman Quinnen Williams, which has not been widely corroborated, while AP reporting noted the Jaguars are set to acquire Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders for fourth- and sixth-round picks.
