Bengals Owner Mike Brown Calls Shemar Stewart’s Stubbornness Over Void Language ‘A Form Of Foolishness’

Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart is the last first-round pick to sign, and owner Mike Brown sounds tired of waiting. To his mind, it’s all much ado about nothing, and his public comments yesterday reflect that. It is a message resonating throughout the building, executive director Duke Tobin also questioning Stewart’s logic.

As Micah Parsons also found out yesterday with Jerry Jones, though, Stewart found Brown impatient in getting what he wants. For Stewart, his issue is the Bengals making him the first Bengals first-round pick they ask to sign new language in his contract pertaining to voids of guarantees.
