Shemar Stewart's contractual holdout with the Cincinnati Bengals has lingered to the start of training camp and the team's front office personnel want to see the first-round pick suiting up sooner rather than later.

Shemar Stewart is the last unsigned first-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, but his holdout is not unprecedented.

While speaking to reporters at the Cincinnati Bengals Media Luncheon that was held earlier today, team president Mike Brown said it was “foolishness” that the organization had not yet signed first-round pick Shemar Stewart.
