CINCINNATI -- Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart left Cincinnati's mandatory minicamp amid a contract dispute, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Bengals are set to wrap up their three-day minicamp Thursday morning.
Stewart, the 17th pick in the draft, has yet to sign his rookie contract or participate in offseason workouts. According to a source, the dispute centers on contract language that could potentially void future guaranteed money.
Throughout workouts, Stewart has been a bystander during drills, often standing near the defensive line.
The former Texas A&M star was not present Thursday when the Bengals worked out inside Paycor Stadium.
