Cincinnati Bengals give middle linebacker Logan Wilson contract extension

The Cincinnati Bengals and linebacker Logan Wilson have agreed on a contract extension worth $37.25 million over four years, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Wilson, 26, has developed into one of the NFL’s most productive defensive players. The former-third round pick of out Wyoming finished as the Bengals’ top tackler last season with 83.

In his first three seasons with the Bengals, Wilson has logged 256 tackles, seven interceptions, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. As Cincinnati’s middle linebacker, Wilson is the player responsible for ensuring the defense gets set in the right places as he wears the green dot on his helmet which allows communication from defensive coordinator Lou Anaurmo.
