A former defender of Lou Anarumo’s from his time in Cincinnati won’t be joining the Indianapolis Colts at the NFL trade deadline.
According to multiple reports, Bengals’ linebacker Logan Wilson is being traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick.
Whether or not Wilson was firmly on the Colts’ radar or not isn’t exactly known at this time, but over the weekend, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported that Indianapolis — along with several other teams — had called the Bengals prior to the deadline.
A few of the players Russini mentioned as drawing interest were Wilson, Cam Taylor-Britt, and Trey Hendrickson.
My thought is that GM Chris Ballard acquiring Wilson was not a major priority for him. While the Colts had question marks at the WILL linebacker position early on this season and relied heavily on a rotation, the addition of Germaine Pratt has provided stability at that position for Indianapolis.
Finding playing time for both Wilson and Pratt next to Zaire Franklin may not have come all that easily.
Stay up to date right here throughout the day on Tuesday with not only the latest rumors that surround the Colts, but all trade deadline reports from the last few weeks.
