Bengals exec Duke Tobin had one word to describe how he thinks the team is treating first-round pick Shemar Stewart as he continues to hold out.
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.
Stewart left Cincinnati's minicamp in June over a dispute with a new clause about conduct, and he has yet to sign a contract with the team.
The Cincinnati Bengals' timeline on signing Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart unfortunately has not seen any substantial momentum forward as tension rises on the eve of training camp beginning.
In a bold take, this ESPN Insider issued his take on the Trey Hendrickson situation as the Cincinnati Bengals have yet to extend him.
As Stewart continues his holdout for a better rookie deal, is there any possibility of him returning to college for 2025?
