The Cincinnati Bengals found a way to sign both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to lucrative multi-year extensions this offseason, but the franchise is still dealing with multiple contract hold-ins or holdouts. The NFL’s reigning sack leader, Trey Hendrickson, is famously awaiting more money or a change of scenery, but first-round pick pass rusher Shemar Stewart has not been participating in the Bengals’ offseason program either.
Why is the No. 17 overall pick skipping all on-field work? Pro Football Talk reports that the Bengals and Stewart are haggling over language in his rookie contract related to the potential voiding of future guarantees.
Cincinnati reportedly wants to include a phrase in the contract that causes a default in the current year to trigger a default in all remaining years. Pro Football Talk also reports that this phrase is not included in the rookie contract signed by offensive tackle Amarius Mims, who was the Bengals’ first-round pick last year.
“I’m not asking for anything crazy,” Stewart told ESPN last week. “I’m not even asking for nothing. I just want things to be consistent. I just want consistent language as in the past contracts. I just won’t practice until I get that.”
Stewart was regarded as one of the top pass rushers in this class. While he recorded just 4.5 sacks during his three seasons at Texas A&M, Stewart registered 65 pressures over the past two years, which was tied for eighth in the SEC.
As we near June, the Bengals aren’t exactly in an ideal situation with both of their prospective starting defensive ends unhappy with their contracts. Cincinnati’s mandatory minicamp begins on June 10.

Russell dostal nestandartní trest. Na vině byla jeho komunikace s týmem
Probíhalo 50. kolo Velké ceny Monaka. Russell byl na 11. pozici, která by mu nepřinesla ani bod do žebříčku jezdců a jeho frustrace už překročila hranici, kterou byl ochoten tolerovat. V celém závodě totiž vozy před ním naschvál brzdily jeho i každého dalšího jezdce, aby jejich lépe postavení týmoví kolegové mohli bez větších komplikací absolvovat své dvě povinné zastávky v boxech.Začal s tím Liam Lawson z Racing Bulls a pokračovali oba jezdci Williamsu, nejdřív Carlos Sainz a později i Alex Albon. A v tu chvíli se Russell rozhodl jednat. Albona předjel tak, že projel šikanu. Tím získal trvalou výhodu a podle pravidel měl pozici vrátit. Do vysílačky ale jasně řekl, že radši překousne penalizaci, než aby pokračoval v jízdě za brzdícím Albonem.To se mu vymstilo. Jeho slova si totiž traťoví komisaři vyložili jako potvrzení úmyslu a místo deseti sekund mu uložili projet boxovou uličkou.„Z rádiové komunikace, kde řidič prohlásil, že ‚vezme trest‘, bylo zřejmé, že […]
Shaquille O’Neal was ready to trade half his net worth to become Thanos-Thankfully, he was rejected
NBA fans are well aware of Shaquille O'Neal's superhero obsession. From his Superman shield tattoo to his admiration for The Hulk, his love for heroic figures has always been clear. But few would have guessed that Shaq harbored a secret desire to become a supervillain-let alone what he was willing to sacrifice to make it happen. Superheroes shaped Shaq's childhood, serving as an escape from his troubled youth. "Growing up as a medium juvenile delinquent always on punishment, [I] at least had an opportunity to watch TV and just see supherheroes entrenched inside stories they were telling," O'Neal recalled in an interview on The Jordan Harbinger Show. His passion followed him into adulthood. Shaq even fulfilled a lifelong dream by starring in his own superhero movie, Steel (1997). Although the film wasn't a blockbuster hit, it gave the former NBA […]
