Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart was the only first-round pick that remained unsigned heading into NFL training camp.
Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart has reportedly signed his rookie deal after a dramatic holdout. According to ESPN, it's a four-year, fully guaranteed $18.97 million contract that includes a $10.
The Cincinnati Bengals solved one contract issue this offseason by coming to terms with first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart. Another one looms even larger, however, as pass rusher Trey Hendrickson still has no extension as he enters the final year of his deal and is holding out of training camp.
If there’s one player who understands the importance of training camp practice in Cincinnati, it’s Amarius Mims. The Bengals selected Mims with the No.18 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft out of Georgia. Mims went on to start 13 games for the Bengals last season.
