Shemar Stewart has left Bengals minicamp, and it's the team's fault for their ridiculous haggling
Well, sometimes NFL mandatory minicamp can be interesting. The Cincinnati Bengals are the most recent source of June NFL Content™, currently having a back-and-forth with unsigned rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart that's gotten so bad Stewart left minicamp early on Thursday. Stewart is one of a handful of unsigned first-round picks, along with Travis Hunter, Jahdae Barron and Maxwell Hairston. However, none of those players have turned to the public for their negotiations with their new teams. Advertisement That's where Stewart has differed from his draft class brethren — and the Bengals have now caused Stewart to miss a bunch of valuable offseason opportunities. According to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Stewart would like his contract language to resemble the language of the Bengals' recent first-round picks. Seems like a pretty innocuous request. Since the 2011 collective bargaining agreement instituted the rookie wage scale, there really isn't much wiggle room for negotiation on these deals. The rookie contract holdout that used to be prevalent in the league prior to 2011 has largely been eliminated, leading to situations that appear to be as sour as Stewart's becoming more and more rare. "I'm 100 percent right. I'm not asking for nothing y'all have never done before,' Stewart said, according to Jay Morrison of Sports Illustrated. 'But in y'all case, y'all just want to win arguments (more) than winning more games." Advertisement Stewart said he thought he would be on the field by now to start working on his game, but instead he missed mandatory minicamp and organized team activities while this contract situation resolves itself. Stewart was in meetings and studied his playbook, but he understandably avoided on-field work for now to decrease his risk of injury. Assuming Stewart and his camp are being truthful in their side of events, there's really no reason for the Bengals to be haggling like this. They have cap space. The 18th overall pick isn't a very hefty contract. And, most importantly, Stewart really needs the practice reps in order to quickly live up to the standard of a first-round pick. He didn't have much by the way of college production at Texas A&M and clearly has a ways to go before becoming a down-to-down impact player in the NFL. The athleticism is there in droves, but daily practice reps are what a player like Stewart needs. Considering that the Bengals are going to be in a Super Bowl window as long as they have the offensive firepower they do, they need to get this across the finish line to have an important piece of their defense ready for training camp in July. Advertisement Cincinnati also has a new defensive coordinator in Al Golden. Golden needs the defense at full strength if he's going to be able to replicate in the NFL the success he had at Notre Dame last season. According to TruMedia, the Bengals were 30th in defensive success rate and 29th in expected points allowed per play. That's not going to cut it if the Bengals want to reverse their luck from last year and get into the postseason that they barely missed last season. Don't miss the forest for the trees! This is a middle-of-the-first-round rookie contract! Just do a little capitulating, get it signed and keep it moving come training camp. It's the best plan for everyone involved and removes a big distraction for a crucial season in Cincinnati.

Shemar Stewart, Bengals' first-round draft pick, leaves minicamp over unsigned contract: Source
Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart left the team's mandatory minicamp while he remains unsigned to his rookie contract, a league source said. Stewart departed camp so he wouldn't distract his teammates while negotiating his contract, according to the source. Cincinnati drafted the defensive end with the 17th pick out of Texas A&M in April. Stewart did not hold back when asked Tuesday about being unsigned. Advertisement 'I'm 100 percent right,' Stewart said.'I'm not asking for nothing y'all have never done before. But in y'all case, y'all just want to win an argument instead of winning more games.' He also said that his teammates supported his stance, with some telling him, 'You're doing the right things.' Stewart is one of four first-round draftees who have yet to sign their rookie contracts. The Jacksonville Jaguars' No. 2 pick Travis Hunter, the Denver Broncos' No. 20 pick Jahdae Barron and the Buffalo Bills' No. 30 pick Maxwell Hairston remain unsigned. Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Eagles' Jihaad Campbell (No. 31 pick) was among that group, but the team announced he signed his contract Wednesday. The duration and dollar amounts of NFL rookie contracts are fixed and based on the player's draft position. The Bengals are dealing with another contract saga at minicamp with star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson not in attendance amid a contract extension standoff. His absence continues a contentious offseason while he waits to potentially reach a new deal. Hendrickson is in the final year of a contract extension he signed in 2023, with one year and $16 million remaining and a cap hit of $18.3 million. ESPN was first to report on Stewart leaving the Bengals' minicamp.
