Well you have to consider the system both are in as well. Wilson is just as essential to our Defense as Queen is to his. You aren't
going to fill up the stat sheet in this system under Lou except maybe INT's and INT's are a big deal. Lou's Defense requires spread
out accomplishment besides Hendrickson our sole elite pass rusher, until MM and maybe Ossai soon.
Logan's shoulder has been a problem for him in the past. If there is a pause on an extension, this is the reason.

I'd venture to say that if it weren't for the Lamar Jackson deal, Queen might have had his 5th year option picked up while they negotiated an extension. However, Queen is not alone in not having his option picked up, only 12 of 32 possible did. I think that it's more economics than a testament on the player's performance.
If anything, it should benefit the Bengals in negotiations with Wilson, as there will be a glut of very talented LBs in the next free agency period.
Yes sir Sunset. Took a bit for Logan to take the starting spot being a 3rd rounder. Also true on the Lamar deal skewing how
things look for Patrick Queen, they will have to deal with losing a lot of good players. But the Pratt deal being reasonable makes
a Logan Wilson extension possible. If we would of overpaid for Pratt not near as possible.
