The Cincinnati Bengals and first round pick Shemar Stewart made headlines when the rookie chose not to sign his contract or take the field last week.
Stewart not signing his contract isn't huge news, as most first round picks have yet to be signed. His choosing not to take the field is more of a move you'd see from a veteran looking to secure a long-term deal.
It seems the issue may be pretty simple. That doesn't mean we will see a deal happen quickly.
"Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Bengals tried to get Stewart signed," Mike Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk.
