Overview
- Wilson announced his decision on Instagram on March 18, closing a career that spanned 83 games and six seasons.
- He was a 2020 third-round pick (No. 65) who became a Bengals mainstay, finishing with roughly 565 tackles and 11 interceptions.
- A pivotal figure in Cincinnati’s 2021 playoff run, he notched a key interception in Tennessee en route to the franchise’s Super Bowl LVI appearance.
- After being voted a Bengals captain in 2025, his role diminished, leading to a trade to Dallas for a 2026 seventh-round pick and limited snaps across seven games.
- Dallas waived him on Feb. 20 to clear about $6.5 million in cap space, and Wilson said retirement will allow more time with family and new fitness goals.
