The Cincinnati Bengals remain one of only two NFL teams yet to sign their first-round pick, Shemar Stewart, alongside the Denver Broncos with cornerback Jahdae Barron. The Bengals' desire to revise contract terms has led to a public standoff, as Stewart publicly criticized the organization and left minicamp early. As the Bengals continue to navigate this negotiation, their approach to contract guarantees could set a precedent for future agreements. However, it's expected that both parties will resolve the situation before training camp, minimizing disruption to the team's preparations.
