I just think Bengals can run with Wilson and Burks in 2-LB sets, Carter for extra LB if need be and be ok.


Same with Stewart. Bengals can get by with Hendrickson, Ossai, Murphy, Sample, and Johnson.
Stewart is a nice-to-have that has plenty of work to do to make an impact on the defense.
Not having Hendrickson though would be a huge blow.
No one on the roster is replacing 35.0 sacks in 2 years.

I disagree Stewart will bring making impacts early.. without top 2 draft picks we are thin and no depth in trouble
