Shemar Stewart’s Sudden Exit from Bengals’ Minicamp Sparks Questions and Speculation

Shemar Stewart’s Sudden Exit from Bengals’ Minicamp Sparks Questions and Speculation

So, Shemar Stewart—the Bengals’ shiny No. 17 pick from the 2025 NFL Draft—has apparently shrugged off mandatory minicamp altogether. Now here’s a rookie edge rusher skipping out before even stepping fully on the field; makes you wonder, what kind of precedent is this setting? Contract disputes feel like an inevitable mess in the NFL, but watching Stewart bail amid demands to slash guarantees—well, it’s almost like watching chess unfold in real time. He wants a deal like his fellow first-rounders got, nothing less, and suddenly the Bengals’ camp is more of a courtroom than a practice field. Meanwhile, Trey Hendrickson’s missing from drills too, adding fuel to the fire. With this kind of friction, one has to ask: how much contract wrangling can a defense afford before the whole unit unravels? The Bengals’ talent is visible, but how long can patience hold? This saga’s just heating up, and I’m here for every twist . . .
