The linebacker, known for his leadership and key contributions on the field, had become a staple of the Bengals’ defensive unit. “It’s tough to see a guy like Logan go,” Hendrickson admitted. “He’s not just a teammate; he’s a friend. We’ve built something special here, and losing him is a blow.”
Hill echoed these sentiments, adding, “Logan brought a lot of energy and talent to our defense. You can’t just replace that overnight. We’ll miss him both on and off the field.” The camaraderie within the locker room was palpable, as many players shared their thoughts on the impact of Wilson’s trade.

The trade has sparked a broader conversation about the Bengals’ strategy moving forward. With Wilson gone, the focus will now shift to how the team adapts and fills the void left by his exit.
Looking Ahead
As the Bengals prepare for the upcoming season, the reactions from Hendrickson, Hill, and their teammates underscore the emotional weight of such decisions within a team’s dynamic. The organization now faces the challenge of rallying the squad and maintaining the spirit that brought them success in previous seasons.
With the season looming, the Bengals will need to harness this energy to push forward, even as they navigate the complexities of roster changes that come with the competitive nature of the NFL.
