BREAKING : Shemar Stewart One of Two Unsigned First Rounders Following Travis Hunter’s Deal With Jaguars

The Cincinnati Bengals practice in the off season on Tuesday May 20, 2025. Bengals 2025 draft pick Shemar Stewart (97).

CINCINNATI — And then there were two.

The Jaguars signed No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter on Sunday, which means there are only two unsigned first round picks in this year’s draft class.

Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart and Broncos cornerback Jahdae Barron are still unsigned.

Stewart was taken with the 17th pick and Barron went 20th overall.

“I’ve never been a person to ask for more than what I deserve,” Stewart said earlier this month. “And (the Bengals) trying to implement something new, to me, is unfair. And I feel like I’ve been nothing but fair. I’m not asking for nothing crazy. I could understand if I was asking for more on my signing bonus, which I’m not. They trying to do all of this is crazy.”

Stewart was present for the most of Bengals’ offseason program, but didn’t participate in any on-field drills and left minicamp one day early.

“I thought I’d be on the field by now,” he said. “You have to get your body somewhat prepared to play football, especially me coming from college to the NFL, a way more physical game.”
