Former San Antonio Commanders safety Orion Stewart has signed with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team announced Wednesday.

Stewart is the 12th former Commander to sign an NFL contract. He made 23 tackles and a pair of interceptions with three passes defended and a fumble recovery for San Antonio.

Stewart played four years at Baylor, finishing with 260 tackles and 12 interceptions. He did not garner an invite to the NFL scouting combine and went undrafted in 2017.

He spent time on practice squads or in training camp with the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins and New York Giants during the past two years. He has played in eight preseason games, totaling 20 tackles, three passes defended and a quarterback hit.

On Monday, former Commanders quarterback Logan Woodside signed with the Tennessee Titans and defensive tackle Winston Craig signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cornerback De'Vante Bausby signed with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, while safety Derron Smith and cornerback Duke Thomas signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Friday.
