The Bengals never budged on Trey Hendrickson’s trade request, but now Logan Wilson is trying his luck before the deadline. According to ESPN, the veteran inside linebacker has indeed requested a trade. Already playing under an extended contract, he has taken issue with the reduction in his playing time.
A third-round pick in 2020, Logan Wilson emerged as a regular starter by his second season. Over the previous three seasons, he averaged about 98 percent of the defensive snaps. This year, his workload has dropped to 73 percent, and that is quickly declining.
While he technically started last Thursday against the Steelers, reports indicated that the Bengals were demoting Wilson.
