Bengals have no reason for their ridiculous Shemar Stewart haggling

The article discusses the contract dispute between the Cincinnati Bengals and unsigned rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart during the NFL mandatory minicamp. Stewart, one of the few unsigned first-round picks, is publicly negotiating for contract terms similar to past Bengals first-round selections. Despite the 2011 collective bargaining agreement limiting negotiation flexibility, Stewart remains firm in his request, emphasizing the need for practice to develop as a first-round talent. The Bengals, with ample cap space and a new defensive coordinator, are urged to resolve this quickly to focus on improving their defense, which struggled last season. The article suggests that signing Stewart promptly would benefit both the team and the player, especially as the Bengals aim for a successful season.
