>Bengals first-round DE Shemar Stewart could sit out the 2025 season and re-enter the 2026 NFL Draft amid his contract dispute.
>Stewart, who left mandatory minicamp today with no progress made in negotiations, is holding out because the Bengals want to include language allowing them to void guaranteed money if he's released during his rookie deal.
>Under the collective bargaining agreement, Stewart can remain unsigned beyond the November 11th deadline, sit out the entire 2025 season, and re-enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
