Duke Tobin and Mike Brown say Shemar Stewart needs to be here; Agent fires back

Cincinnati Bengals first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart has still not reported ahead of training camp starting on Wednesday, and that’s not sitting well with director of player personnel Duke Tobin.

“He’s (Stewart) listening to the advice that he’s paying for,” Tobin said during Monday’s media luncheon. “I don’t understand the advice. I don’t agree with it. I’m not the one paying for it, but that’s where it is.”

In response, Stewart’s agent, Zac Hiller, clapped back at Tobin.

“Duke Tobin has had no involvement in this negotiation,” Hiller told ESPN.
