It’s finally happening!
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cincinnati Bengals and Shemar Stewart have reached an agreement on his rookie contract.
Schefty adds that the Bengals are giving Stewart a fully guaranteed deal. The former Texas A&M standout was the last first-round pick without a deal as training camps opened this week, but the holdout is finally over for this year’s 17th overall NFL Draft selection.
This means Stewart will soon be reporting to training camp and should end up only having missed about 3-5 days of action, depending on how much of a ramp-up the team wants him to go through before being fully integrated into practice.
