Former Cincinnati Bengals star linebacker Logan Wilson announced his retirement at age 29 on Wednesday.

Wilson was a key cog in Cincinnati's run to Super Bowl LVI, where the Bengals lost to the Los Angeles Rams to end the 2021 season.

'When I look back on my career, I just feel grateful,' Wilson wrote on Instagram. 'Not many Wyoming kids get the chance to live out their dream in the NFL, and I never took a single snap for granted.'

Wilson recorded four straight 100-tackle seasons with the Bengals from 2021-24. He was voted a team captain for 2025 before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys midway through the season.

Wilson joined the Bengals as a third-round selection in 2020. He starred in the 2021 playoffs with a postseason-leading 39 tackles and a big interception.

'That 2021 playoff run was something special -- the interception in Tennessee to send us to the AFC Championship, beating Kansas City to win the AFC, and taking the field in the Super Bowl,' Wilson said. 'Those moments and that locker room are something I'll carry with me forever. And the best part of all, my daughter was born there.'

Wilson had 70 tackles in 15 games last season while splitting the campaign with the Bengals (eight games) and Cowboys (seven). Wilson didn't receive a single snap in a Week 17 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Dallas waived Wilson on Feb. 20 to save $6.5 million in salary cap space.

Overall, Wilson had 565 tackles, 11 interceptions and seven forced fumbles in 83 games (66 starts) over his six NFL campaigns.

At Wyoming, Wilson was college teammates with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. He intercepted 10 passes, returning two for touchdowns from 2016-19.
