Logan Wilson speaks out on retirement, Super Bowl penalty
Bengals great Logan Wilson didn't take long to speak out after his retirement.
Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson announced his retirement from the NFL this week. It didn’t take long for Wilson to get in the mix on social media and throw some thoughts out there, either. First up, almost as expected, was Wilson breaking his silence about the now-infamous holding penalty during the Super Bowl loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Wilson kept it simple: It still wasn’t holding in my humble opinion😂 — Logan Wilson (@ljw21) March 19, 2026 Wilson also took the time to clarify why he retired so early while going back and forth with fans: Bro I chose to retire. I could’ve kept playing. Was no longer willing to sacrifice my body anymore.
Had 2 injuries. Much more to life than football — Logan Wilson (@ljw21) March 19, 2026 Not a bad one-two punch from Wilson to start his retired life. Odds are, as he’s hinted in other social media messages already, he’ll soon enough be a Ruler of the Jungle at Paycor Stadium like past modern greats like Sam Hubbard.
All of this follows Wilson’s big nod to the Bengals and fans during his retirement announcement on social media this week. "Cincinnati will always mean a lot to me. The teammates, coaches, staff and fans made those years unforgettable.
