The Bengals have one of the worst defenses in NFL history. Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones has decided to add a player from that defense.

The Cowboys have agreed to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals, according to multiple reports.

Wilson sat out Sunday's game with a calf injury, but even when he was playing, he was not playing well. A starter for most of his career, Wilson has recently been taken out of the Bengals' starting lineup and played more on special teams than on defense.

In response to that, Wilson requested the trade, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Cowboys are on their bye this week, and that will give Wilson some additional time to get himself prepared to contribute. Unless Wilson has agreed to a pay cut, he's not a cheap option for the Cowboys: He is on a four-year, $36 million contract that still has two more years on it after this season. That's the kind of money teams want to be paying starters, not special teamers.

The NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 4, and PFT has you covered with news and analysis of every trade, potential trade, rumor of a trade and trade that won’t be happening.
