Bengals Executive Breaks Silence: Shocking Reason Behind Rookie Defender’s Unexpected Holdout Revealed
Yikes: Bengals executive Duke Tobin on first-round pick Shemar Stewart still being unsigned:
"I don't blame Shemar. He's listening to the advice he's paying for. I don't understand the advice… We're treating him fairly."

The Bengals reportedly are trying to incorporate new language into their contracts for first-round picks, and Stewart has drawn a line in the sand.
The language refers to the potential voiding of future guarantees, and while the Bengals have every right to include that type of clause in their contracts, Stewart claims that he wants to sign a standard rookie deal, like the one they gave their first-round picks in the past.
