Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has requested a trade while seeking more playing time, ESPN reported.
The team captain has started all seven games but has played just 73 percent of the defensive snaps, down sharply after playing at least 97 percent in each of the previous three campaigns.
Wilson, 29, ranks fifth on the team with 41 tackles as his role gradually has been ceded to rookies Demetrius Knight Jr. (50 tackles) and Barrett Carter (40).
Wilson played just 19.7 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
He has two years remaining on a four-year, $36 million contract extension he signed in 2023.
Drafted by Cincinnati in the third round in 2020, Wilson has recorded 536 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 11 interceptions and six forced fumbles in 75 games (65 starts). He helped the Bengals reach the Super Bowl during the 2021 season.
The Bengals (3-4) host the New York Jets (0-7) on Sunday.
