More details have emerged regarding the contract dispute between the Bengals and their first-round pick, Shemar Stewart, who has yet to sign his rookie deal.

With 4.5 collegiate sacks to his name, he has a lot to prove, and holding himself out of practice isn’t helping.

Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart’s holdouts increase pressure on the Bengals' front office amid contract criticism.
