Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart skipped the final day of the team’s mandatory minicamp practice as he remains in a contract dispute with the club.

Shemar Stewart's holdout from the Cincinnati Bengals due to some of the language they want to include in his rookie contract is reportedly a fairly common practice used by other teams.

For Hunter, as the top overall pick, it's just a matter of economics. The No. 1 overall pick in 2023, quarterback Bryce Young signed a four-year, $37.96 million contract that is fully guaranteed. The following year, quarterback Caleb Williams signed a four-year contract worth $39.45 million with the Chicago Bears that was fully guaranteed as well.

Mike Tomlin believes T.J. Watt and the Steelers will reach an agreement but offers no timetable. Browns wideout Diontae Johnson won’t let ‘one bad year’ define him.

With OTA's and mandatory minicamp now concluded, and the Bengals going their separate ways for about five weeks prior to the start of preseason training camp, plenty was said about the supposed forward steps by Cincinnati's defense under first-year coordinator Al Golden.
