\"Bengals,<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0and Shemar Stewart have agreed on contract language that ends the most notable holdout of the 2025 NFL draft class.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Network\u2019s\u00a0Tom Pelissero, Stewart \u201cgot improved payout language can now get on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox Sports’\u00a0Jordan Schultz\u00a0reported that the\u00a0Bengals\u00a0get the specific language they want in the contract, while Stewart gets more money from the signing bonus earlier.<\/p>\n

The Bengals reportedly asked Stewart to be the first to reset contractual language around the voidance of guarantees, which the No. 17 pick\u2019s reps balked at until both sides reached a compromise.<\/p>\n

Stewart can now report to training camp and get reps as he prepares for a role in the rotation and the Bengals can turn their contract attention to Trey Hendrickson.<\/p>\n
