After calling out the Cincinnati Bengals this week amid a contract dispute, 2025 first-round pick Shemar Stewart has removed himself from mandatory minicamp, CBS Sports Jonathan Jones confirms, as the plot thickens between two sides clearly on different pages.

Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart has left the team during mandatory minicamp. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Stewart has left minicamp early on the final day amid his contract standoff with the team.

Shemar Stewart is no longer at mandatory minicamp amid his ongoing holdout with the Cincinnati Bengals over language they want to put into his rookie contract.
