Bengals Not Budging in Shemar Stewart Contract Dispute

Cincinnati Bengals

Saturday is the day for Cincinnati Bengals rookies to report to training camp, yet their top draft pick is still nowhere to be seen. Former Texas A&M Aggies defensive end Shemar Stewart, whom the Bengals selected with the No. 17 overall pick in April, has been locked in a heated dispute with his new team due to specific language in his contract, and has not participated in offseason activities to this point. With rookies reporting on Saturday, there appears to be no end in sight to this dispute, as Stewart is now officially a training camp holdout. In reporting on the situation, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio gave his opinion on how the Bengals have overplayed their hand in this dispute.
