The Bengals can trade Stewart as an unsigned draft pick before the cutoff, which takes place 30 days before the start of the regular season. That would be the first week of August. So that's the gateway to the question: should the Rams make a move for Stewart? Let's make the argument for yes.

While Shemar Stewart and Trey Hendrickson sit out, other Bengals players are taking advantage to get key reps and perhaps even earn bigger roles in the rotation than predicted.
