Shemar Stewart’s Agent Claps Back At Bengals Front Office as Contract Standoff Continues This one is getting more and more public with no resolution in sight for the Cincinnati Bengals. At the Bengals’ media luncheon, we got some insight on the former first-rounder’s injury recovery two days ahead of training camp.

The Bengals don’t appear to be willing to budge on their stance as they feel it’s completely justified. Stewart thinks he’s done nothing wrong and has publicly stated his desire to receive a contract that mirrors what the most recent first-round picks in Cincinnati have received.

Widely reported as a contract standoff due to the Bengals attempting to reset their own language around the voidance of guarantees, the conversation Monday managed to even overshadow the contract drama with Trey Hendrickson. Bengals president Mike Brown confirmed the nature of the problem.

Shemar Stewart's contractual holdout with the Cincinnati Bengals has lingered to the start of training camp and the team's front office personnel want to see the first-round pick suiting up sooner rather than later.
