Shemar Stewart Remains Unsigned, Doesn't Report to Training Camp
Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart is the lone first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft who has not signed his rookie deal, and he did not report to training camp with the rest of the team's rookies on Saturday, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. The 17th overall pick out of Texas A&M didn't take part in any of the offseason workouts, either, due to a contract dispute with the Bengals over the guaranteed money in his first NFL deal. A rumor floated earlier this week that Stewart was considering going back to college with the Aggies in 2025, but Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said Stewart has no intentions of returning to college ball. Stewart would likely need to sue the NCAA in order to gain a final year of collegiate eligibility. The 21-year-old should have a big role in his rookie season, but he's losing valuable development time leading up to it.
