Shemar Stewart is the last unsigned first-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, but his holdout is not unprecedented.

Shemar Stewart's contract dispute with the Bengals centers on guarantee language that owner Mike Brown says would require payment even if a player commits misconduct.

The Bengals and No. 17 overall pick Shemar Stewart remain in a contract dispute that doesn't appear to be close to ending.

Cincinnati selected Stewart with the No. 17 pick in April’s NFL draft, but he has yet to sign his contract due to an issue he and his representatives have with the contract’s guarantees.

Amid an unusual contract dispute, the Texas A&M pass rusher has options about how to proceed — though some might not be easy to execute.

Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown says a disagreement over guaranteed money is what is keeping the team from signing 2025 first round pick Shemar Stewart.

Stewart left Cincinnati's minicamp in June over a dispute with a new clause about conduct, and he has yet to sign a contract with the team.
