2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $18.97 million contract with the Bengals in July of 2025.
Disappoints during rookie campaign
Stewart recorded 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed across eight regular-season games in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Stewart, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M, didn't participate in the Bengals' offseason program and failed to report to training camp on time due to a post-draft contract dispute. This may have contributed to his slow start in the NFL, as he recorded just six total tackles over his first five games. Stewart also struggled to stay healthy, missing nine contests due to a lingering knee injury. Despite the setbacks, the 22-year-old likely will operate as one of the Bengals' top edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Doesn't report for start of camp
Stewart, whom the Bengals selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and who remains the only unsigned first-round selection, did not report to training camp with the rest of the Bengals' rookies Saturday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart and the Bengals have been at odds about language in his contract that could potentially void the guaranteed money in his deal. The Texas A & M product is now also the only member of Cincinnati's 2025 Draft class without a contract, as second-round pick Demetrius Knight signed his deal Saturday.
