While Trey Hendrickson has not yet been paid, the first round Shemar Stewart is still a wait due to a rookie contract dispute.
The reason behind the Stewart Holdout revolves around the language inside his treatment, but the executive of the Cincinnati Bengals executive, Duke Tobin, made it clear how he feels at the beginning of the training camp.
“I think Shemar needs to be here,” Tobin told journalists. “I am not going to blame Shemar. He is listening to the advice he is paying. I do not understand or agree with the advice, but I am not the one who pays it. If I felt that we were unfairly treating him with regard to all the other draft selections in this year’s draft, then it may be a different story. But we do not really do it.

The coach of the Bengals, Zac Taylor, said he had “good communication” with Stewart before leaving the camp.
The owner of the Bengals, Mike Brown, also commented on the situation, calling Stewart’s situation “a very peculiar thing.”
“It’s not about money. This is the guarantee in the case of whether it did something contrary to the levels of discipline of the league,” Brown told journalists. “I don’t think that ever happens. That is what is holding it. It has never happened as long as I take into account.
“His agent wants it to acted in a terrible way, all this is hypothetical, something that rises to the level of going to prison, we would be at stake for the guarantee.
