Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart did not report to training camp on Saturday with the rest of the team's rookies. The Texas A&M product remains the only first-round selection who has not agreed to a rookie deal.

An ESPN pundit expresses confusion over the Cincinnati Bengals’ unusual contract language demand for Shemar Stewart.

The problem for the Bengals is simply shelving the new desired language until next year could create the same sort of standoff again if they lose this staring contest. So, as Corry writes, some sort of agreeable compromise to get the language in there feels like a must.
