The Cowboys could use a linebacker…
Multiple names have been mentioned as a target, with one potential fit officially requesting a trade on Thursday. Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has asked the team to send him elsewhere after seeing his role reduced in favor of rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr.
“Wilson, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a pivotal member of Cincinnati’s defense in the turnaround. In 2021, two years after the Bengals had the worst record in the NFL, Wilson was a starter on a Cincinnati squad that reached the Super Bowl. In six seasons with the team, he has made 75 starts and totaled six forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 11 interceptions.” – Baby, ESPN
Despite his reduced role, Wilson has been a stellar teammate, helping the younger players get up to speed. Still, he would like more playing time, which would be available in Dallas.

Well, at long last, Cowboys Nation may have its wish granted in the coming days. CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin identified Diggs as one of 30 “potential trade chips” leading up to the NFL’s Nov. 4 deadline, which certainly feels plausible.
The Cowboys need to beat the adversity against the Denver Broncos.
FRISCO, Texas – On Sunday, September 17, 2017, second-year quarterback Dak Prescott led the Dallas Cowboys onto the field at Mile High in Denver looking to move to 2-0 on the year after beating the Giants in Week 1.
Prescott, who was on the heels of a magical rookie season that won him offensive rookie of the year in 2016, finished the game completing 30 of his 50 passing attempts for 238 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in what ended up being a 42-17 Broncos win.
“That was one was probably one of the uglier games of my career for sure,” Prescott said. “I remember the big rain delay or lightning delay early in the game, I remember Von Miller, Aqib Talib, Chris...
