Bengals, Shemar Stewart nuclear option includes 2026 NFL draft route
Ultimately, the Cincinnati Bengals and first-round pick Shemar Stewart are likely to resolve the contract standoff at some point this summer. But what if things go the super-rare route? There are, believe it or not, clauses written into the CBA that deal with rookies who never sign with the team that drafted them, or who want off the team that drafted them. Advertisement Stewart, as pointed out by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio and others, has roughly three options: Stewart doesn't sign and demands a trade. Teams can trade unsigned draft picks until up to 30 days before the first game of the season. Stewart signs the Tuesday after Week 10 and his case goes to arbitration to decide about his playing status. Stewart refuses to sign at all and re-enters the 2026 NFL draft, where he could be selected by any team but the Bengals. RELATED: Bengals news: Jermaine Burton buzz, practice urgency and more That third and final point is the nuclear option most fans and media seem to bring up the most. The Bengals wouldn't get compensated in that scenario at all. But it's nearly impossible Stewart would give up his massive rookie contract this year, sit out of football for a year, then potentially go undrafted in 2026 after teams likely stay away from him. For now, both sides play the staring contest. The Bengals want to insert new language into their contracts that better aligns with the rest of the NFL and have started it with Stewart. He doesn't want to be treated differently than past Bengals rookies. Hence, a standoff. Advertisement Again, Stewart will sign with the Bengals and play in 2025. But the above are the other options, including the nuclear one that drags this out until 2026.

The annual PFT Live hiatus starts now
We do it every year, right around now. The two-hour weekday show devoted to all things NFL embarks on a hiatus. This year's break begins today. PFT Live returns on Monday, July 28. Obviously, nothing changes here. We'll have many daily updates, every single day. I'll also be doing #PFTPM episodes on most of the weekdays during the upcoming break. Only days after we return, we'll be in Canton for the Hall of Fame game. And then comes the preseason. And the regular season. And on and on it goes, through Super Bowl LX on NBC and Peacock. Since the last hiatus ended, we've had a cast of co-hosts including Chris Simms, Devin McCourty, Rodney Harrison, Michael Holley, Charean Williams, and Myles Simmons. With a dash of Peter King. Thanks to all of them for helping to deliver a show that provides an authentic look at pro football, from various perspectives. And thanks to those of you who regularly consume the show, on Peacock or SiriusXM 85 or NBC Sports Now or Sky Sports or YouTube or clips on the website or via podcast.I'll be wide awake tomorrow morning, itching to do the show.
