Cowboys pull off Logan Wilson trade after Jerry Jones tease

The Dallas Cowboys got embarrassed on Monday Night Football. Dallas lost 27-17 against Arizona in a game where the Cowboys effectively no-showed. But the team just made a move that they hope will stabilize their defense for the rest of the season.

The Cowboys are finalizing a trade to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Dallas sent a seventh-round pick in exchange for Wilson, per ESPN's Dan Graziano.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones briefly teased a potential trade following Monday's ugly loss.

“There is one trade I can do. And I’m leaning towards doing it,” Jones said, referring to the trade deadline. It certainly seems like he was referring to this Wilson trade.

Jones also made it clear that Monday's loss will not influence the team's decisions at the trade deadline.

Wilson is a talented middle linebacker who could factor into Dallas' future plans on defense. The 29-year-old linebacker is under contract through the 2027 season with relatively low cap hits each year.

If Wilson becomes a starter for the Cowboys, this trade could end up looking incredibly smart.

Will Cowboys, Jerry Jones make more trades ahead of the NFL trade deadline?

The Cowboys owner teased plenty of trade deadline fireworks before Monday's game.

Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill Jr. noted on Monday that Jones said the team has “made a trade” and has more coming.

“Jerry Jones said he made a trade and is working on two more for the Cowboys,” Hill wrote on social media.

Reading between the lines, it seems that the Wilson trade is likely the one he already had done. It will be interesting to see if Monday's loss spooks the Cowboys from making further moves.

Oddly enough, this Wilson trade comes just one day after Hill begged the Cowboys to make a move to remain competitive in the NFC playoff race.

“Both Green Bay and Detroit lost today, the Cowboys hopes remain in a parity filled NFC where there is no juggernaut,” Hill wrote. “It’s wide open as it’s ever been. Jerry Jones should make a trade.”

The Cowboys are on their bye week, which gives them some extra time to integrate their new players.

Next up for Dallas is a Week 11 matchup against Las Vegas.

BREAKING: Yankees Legend Reggie Jackson Reportedly Battling Cancer — The Sports World Rallies Behind a True Warrior...

The sports world was shaken today as multiple reports confirmed that Reggie Jackson, the New York Yankees legend and one of the most iconic figures in baseball history, is battling cancer.

The news broke early this morning through family representatives and team sources close to Jackson’s household — sparking an outpouring of emotion, support, and reflection across the sports community.

Jackson, 78, is widely regarded as one of the most influential and dominant players in Major League Baseball history. His power, leadership, and clutch performances helped transform the New York Yankees into a powerhouse during his tenure with the team. Jackson’s legacy continues to inspire athletes and fans alike, securing his place among the all-time greats.

And now, the same resilience that defined his legendary career is being called upon once again — not on the field, but in the fight of his life.

A Hero Facing a New Battle

According to early reports from The New York Times and ESPN, Jackson was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer several weeks ago and has begun undergoing treatment at a medical facility in the New York area.

While the family has not yet disclosed the specific type or stage of his illness, those close to Jackson describe him as being “optimistic, focused, and fighting with the same intensity he once brought to the diamond.”

“He’s a fighter,” said a family friend. “Reggie’s always been a warrior — that’s who he is. This is just another opponent, and he’s already game-planning how to beat it.”

The New York Yankees organization released an official statement shortly after the news broke, expressing full support for their legendary slugger:

“Reggie Jackson is and always will be a cornerstone of this franchise. His leadership, talent, and impact on the game of baseball have inspired generations of players and fans alike. The entire Yankees family stands with him and his loved ones during this challenging time.”

A Legacy Built on Power and Clutch Performances
Reggie Jackson’s journey is nothing short of legendary.

Born in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, Jackson rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest players in baseball history. Acquired by the New York Yankees in 1977, Jackson immediately became a force in the lineup, delivering iconic moments, including his three-home-run performance in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, which earned him the nickname "Mr. October."

His powerful bat, charismatic personality, and clutch postseason performances helped lead the Yankees to back-to-back World Series championships in 1977 and 1978. Jackson’s presence in the Yankees’ lineup is etched into the team’s storied history.

“Without Reggie, we don’t win those championships,” said former Yankees teammate Thurman Munson. “His ability to rise to the occasion in big moments was unmatched. He was a true leader and a force of nature.”

Now, the same sports community that once watched him dominate on the field is standing behind him in unison.

The Sports World Reacts — “We’re All with You, Reggie.”
As the news spread, players, coaches, and fans across the sports world took to social media to send prayers, love, and encouragement to the Yankees legend.

Derek Jeter wrote on Twitter:

“Reggie Jackson is an icon of this game and this franchise. My thoughts and prayers are with him as he fights this battle. We’re all with you, Reggie.”

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner added:

“Reggie Jackson will always be one of the most beloved figures in Yankees history. His contributions to this team and the game of baseball are immeasurable. We stand with him every step of the way.”

Even Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred weighed in, saying:

“Reggie Jackson’s impact on the game of baseball is enduring. He redefined postseason greatness and became a symbol of excellence for generations of players and fans. We wish him strength in his fight and thank him for everything he’s done for the game.”
