Cincinnati Bengals 1st Round Draft pick Shemar Stewart
- Thread starter BMR Genie
- Start date
I see..isn't it normal for players to train this way prior to camp?
i know there is a contract dispute though
Okay, in short, he's worried it will cost him millions if things don't go perfectly."The Bengals and Stewart are haggling over language regarding the potential voiding of his future guarantees. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Bengals want to include a phrase that causes a default in the current year to trigger a default in all remaining years," Florio wrote. "The problem is that the contract signed by last year’s first-round pick, tackle Amarius Mims, does not include the language that the Bengals are now attempting to insert into Stewart’s deal.
Only can sign with Cinci. Like the old USFL players & their rights. He cannot "re enter" the draft.Okay, in short, he's worried it will cost him millions if things don't go perfectly.
What will gonna happen if Bengals or he in the end won't agree? he's going back to college? or will other NFL teams sign him?
I'm not sure about the "blank thinking," but thanks for the legal explanation, Minny.Only can sign with Cinci. Like the old USFL players & their rights. He cannot "re enter" the draft.
However- im not sure he can play NCAAFB after his declaration & draft. Granted NCAA getting destroyed in court, but he'd certainly barred from playing this year while any court action played out.
So, typical black thinking here....
Lots of primadonnas in this batch of draftees.Bengals gotta let him go. Dude is a headcase
Just pay Hendrickson at this point and let this bum walk
Do you think there's still a team that would take him after this issue? Looks like this kid is heading for career suicide.if you are the bengals you just wasted a pick on a headcase. can they trade him instead?
NCAA has rule... once drafted you can't come back to play but.... I could see this ending up in court.Only can sign with Cinci. Like the old USFL players & their rights. He cannot "re enter" the draft.

Well yeah I think youre going to see it because of the rate these guys are beating their wives, killing people while driving recklessly, getting DUIs, gambling, gun charges, etc.NCAA has rule... once drafted you can't come back to play but.... I could see this ending up in court.
He can only sign with Bengals this year but, he is eligible to be drafted next year by any team except the Bengals.
The issue is, if he signed the contract with the clause that Jamesy pointed out, it would set a precedent for future contracts and lead to more of these hold outs going forward, especially for "problem" players with a checkered background.
Say that to his faceDo you think there's still a team that would take him after this issue? Looks like this kid is heading for career suicide.
