Jerry Jones wants to see Logan Wilson playing more.
It gets lost in the shuffle of everything, but the Dallas Cowboys traded for someone other than Quinnen Williams at this year’s deadline. Linebacker Logan Wilson was actually acquired before Williams and was someone who people were excited about in the hours that separated those deals. Part of the reason was that the Cowboys have had such poor linebacker play for some time now, and the thought was that Wilson could seriously help in that regard.
To be frank, we still don’t totally know whether or not Wilson can help, because he hasn’t played a ton. Wilson was curiously absent from the team’s Christmas Day win at Washington and Jerry Jones took to the radio airwaves of 105.3 The Fan on Friday morning to express his displeasure with that.
Jerry speaks a lot on the radio, everybody knows that, but he is rarely so pointed about a subject like this. You can almost sense that Jerry is directly calling out the coaching staff for not playing Wilson more.
Arguments can be made in a number of directions here. Your takeaway can be that the coaching staff is playing who they believe is best and that ultimately this is how an NFL team should operate. That is objectively fair.
Another takeaway can be that the Cowboys have arguably the worst linebacker play in the NFL and so trotting out the players they are (no one is trying to explicitly point fingers here, but Kenneth Murray has been a target of many) feels questionable at best. That is also fair on some level and seems to be where Jerry is coming from at least.
Perhaps Wilson will garner the trust of the Cowboys coaching staff over the offseason and into 2026 if they decide to keep him. His deal might need to be adjusted as his cap hit is $6.5 million in 2026, and the team can cut him with no dead cap hit.
