The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft took place 88 days ago, and somehow, in that time, the Cincinnati Bengals have failed to work out a deal with their top pick, Shemar Stewart.  The pass-rusher from Texas A&M is the only remaining first-rounder who is still unsigned and if Monday was any indication,

Cincinnati selected Stewart No. 17 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft but he's yet to sign a contract as training camp begins.

Duke Tobin questions the advice Stewart's gotten from his agent for keeping the first-round pick from signing.
