Former Bengals, Cowboys linebacker Logan Wilson surprisingly retires at 29
NY Post
A little over four years after reaching the Super Bowl, Logan Wilson is calling it a career.
The former Bengals and Cowboys linebacker retired on Wednesday after six seasons in the NFL.
The 29-year-old did not specify in his Instagram post a reason for hanging up the spikes, but did say he’s thrilled for “more time with family, new fitness challenges, and the next chapter of life.”
“After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided to officially retire from the NFL,” he wrote. “From being a Wyoming kid with big dreams to hearing my name called in the 3rd round of the 2020 Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals… football gave me more than I ever could have imagined.”
Wilson was a four-year standout at the University of Wyoming, racking up 421 tackles (which rank fourth in school history), 10 interceptions and seven sacks.
He was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft by the Bengals, spending the next five-plus seasons in Cincinnati. From 2021-24, he collected four straight seasons of at least 100 tackles. During the ’21 campaign in which Cincinnati reached the Super Bowl, he recorded four interceptions, which stands as the best mark of his career and a number he would reach again two seasons later.
John Harbaugh could have looked at two offensive linemen the Giants selected in the 2022 draft, reviewed their performance on the field the past four years, said “No thanks,’’ and no one would have given him a hard time about it.
