NFL Updates: Bengals Unsigned Stewart, Saints QB Signs, and More
The Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown criticized the contract standoff with rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart, calling it 'foolishness.' The dispute centers on contract language related to conduct detrimental to the team, which could void guaranteed money if violated. Brown expressed optimism that a deal will eventually be reached, noting that Cincinnati has historically signed all first-round picks except one in 41 years. Meanwhile, Stewart has not participated in workouts or reported to training camp, awaiting a contract that his agent claims is fair. The Bengals are also working to extend defensive end Trey Hendrickson before the season. In other NFL news, the New Orleans Saints signed second-round quarterback Tyler Shough to his rookie contract. Multiple teams made roster moves, including signing rookies and placing players on PUP and NFI lists due to injuries. Notably, the Saints, Dolphins, and Bills have made significant signings and roster adjustments ahead of training camp. The NFL offseason continues with active trades, signings, and contract negotiations across the league, highlighting ongoing efforts to shape team rosters for the upcoming season.
