Bengals Front Office Talks Paycor Stadium Lease
HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 21 – Bengals executive Duke Tobin urges Shemar Stewart to join camp despite holdout over contract language that could void $18.94 million in guaranteed money, reflecting a team-wide negotiation stance.
- On July 18, Cincinnati began its rookie training camp, and first-round pick Shemar Stewart remained absent without a signed contract.
- Amid contract talks, a conduct-detrimental to football clause allowing voided guarantees sparked Stewart's holdout, as the Bengals recently added it into rookie deals.
- During the team's annual media session, Bengals executive Duke Tobin said he hopes Shemar Stewart reports to camp, adding he expects all players under contract to attend.
- Mike Brown said it’s `a form of foolishness` that Stewart remains unsigned, noting he cannot join training camp activities without a contract.
- After working out at Texas A&M, Stewart stays in game shape while both sides anticipate an eventual contract agreement.
