Shemar Stewart, Bengals hammer home language, reach deal

CINCINNATI -- Shemar Stewart and the Bengals agreed on his rookie contract, his agent, Zac Hiller of LAA, said Friday, as Stewart becomes the final first-round draft pick to reach a deal.

Stewart will ink a four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $18.97 million, including a $10.4 million signing bonus, Hiller told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Stewart, a defensive end who was selected 17th in this year's draft, is set to join the Bengals six days after the team's rookies reported for training camp. Friday's agreement ends a saga that started shortly after Cincinnati drafted the former Texas A&M standout.
